Who has tried the Dunlap rubberized coating picks? What is your opinion? Where is the best price? Thanks.

I've never even heard of them, where can you get em?

I just scoured Dunlop's website and there's no mention of them.

I don't wanna seem extremely stupick or nuttin', but why would ya want a rubber pick?

Makes playing Bud's bounce so much easier Michael.

What if the rubber coating is inside to make them stick?

If the rubber coating is just on the part that goes around your finger, you can to that to any finger pick. Get a can of the stuff that you use to coat tool handles with and just dip that part of the pick in there and let it cure. I tried it once, didn't like it tho. YMMV

IF YOU MEAN THE POWDEREDCOATED ONES, I JUST BOUGHT SOME FROM CHUCK BRATTON, I LIKE THEM REAL WELL. DON.

FWIW
I have seen finger picks with a short length of heat-shrink tubing on each wrap.
Seems easy to do. One trip to the RadioShack, cut and shrink to fit.

I followed Mike Holland's remedy by using eye glass pads. Works great!

Get a little Rosin that Fiddle players use and rub your fingers with it before you put your picks on. Jim

Dick,

With the included rubber bar, I can see that...

You need rubber strings also!

I tried them out .. they put me in a rubber room ..

Bo,
Yes, but isn't it kind of hard to play with a straight jacket on?

I used a teaspoon and my feet.. sounded better than usual

And the cloth you use to wipe the strings...Ideal for Steel Guitar Rag

John Hughey sells those!!!
