Thumbpicks

Who's tried them? Who likes and regularly uses them?

I tried one ages ago and didn't like it, but when I got heavily into Travis-picking stuff over the summer, I found the thumbpick really helps bring out the bass parts in fingerstyle playing.

On the twelve-string, it make fingerpicking much easier too, as you're not having to angle your thumb in a wierd way to catch both notes on each course.

Nowadays I leave one clipped behind the nut on both my steel-string acoustics.

Anyone else?
