How are they on bass?
I bought these to see how they compared to the standard Tortex .88s on bass, I'd used Jazz IIIs on electric for a while so thought I'd see how they handle.
There's not a huge amount of difference between the two other than the point on the pick. They're not bad but honestly the point on the pick probably isn't the best for bass. I've gone back to the normal Tortex .88s on bass now as they seem to hit the string in a far more comfortable way for me.
Not a bad pick and not a huge amount in it compared to the standard picks but I'd stick to the normal .88s as a bassist.

Good pick, but nog my first choice
I bought different 0,88 Dunlops, to check which one was best for me. As all other Dunlops, good quality and feel, this came out as my second choise. Winner was the Flow. Good thing with this one as well is the pointy end! Good quality, but a pick is merely personal taste

Very strong attack
Good balance of flexibility and stiffness. Pretty scratchy attack that sounds very aggressive.

My Pic of Choise
The Tortex III Riffle 088 has been my pick of choise from the beggining of my guitar years. It just feels right.
Its not to thick nor to thin so you can play fast picking licks with it and its pretty good for strumming too.It provides a good grip and the material is such that it almost sticks in your hands.As far as durability goes it depends on what you are using them for.For example if you were to play strumming parts this could probably last for ever but if you want to play fast licks with a lot of alternate picking and pinch harmonics this would last a lot less(almost 3-4 months playing in mint condition in my hands,after that they begin to make a carve and for me it is not precise any more).
