Robert Trujillo
Signature Pick
DUNLOP Robert Trujillo Warlord- BASS
Robert Trujillo's signature bass pick is a 1.5mm Delrin triangle pick. The large triangle shape provides multiple playing surfaces while the heavy gauge delivers powerful attack.
Why This Pick?
The Warlord pick's triangle shape gives Trujillo three playing edges, extending its lifespan during Metallica's marathon sets. The thick Delrin material provides the stiffness needed for his aggressive picking style while maintaining warmth.
