Default Puppy "nipping"

Our 11 week old Basset, Higgins has begun nipping while playing. I understand this is normal puppy behavior but, lately every play session involves him wanting to nip at our hands/arms, feet, clothing, anything that is hanging above him.
We've been doing what all the books say, "give him a soft toy to chew", "remove yourself from the activity" ect.... Any other suggestions out there?

It's frustrating because he seems like he has a split personality when he begins to nip!
