Cato Posted December 7, 2018 Posted December 7, 2018 (edited) Lost picks? I wouldn't know This is my 20+ year old Dunlop tortex pick (on the right) next to the same make and model bought a few months ago. Either they used to make them slightly smaller with a different shape or the older one has lost a couple of mm in height and width over the years. The old one is noticeably slippier as well. I think I must have knocked most of the tortex out of it. Edited December 8, 2018 by Cato 1
dlloyd Posted December 8, 2018 Author Posted December 8, 2018 lol... I tend to hold on to my wegen picks, which are about £15 each... they're fairly specific to Gypsy Jazz. But I bought six Dunlop Ultex Jazz III John Petruccis (bit of a mouthful) a couple of weeks ago I'm down to one.
vantagepointrocks Posted December 10, 2018 Posted December 10, 2018 I keep getting told off due to plectrums being found in the washing machine ... 1 1
Machines Posted December 14, 2018 Posted December 14, 2018 But brightly coloured ones and avoid black etc. Easier to find 1
dlloyd Posted December 18, 2018 Author Posted December 18, 2018 Yeah, they are black and I play in a black room with the lights out. They're probably all here. 1
MWH Posted January 1, 2019 Posted January 1, 2019 I keep buying new ones as every time I do, they vanish again and so it goes on, conspiracy theory anyone ?
nickmew Posted January 30, 2019 Posted January 30, 2019 (edited) I bought a couple of bags of these #1 Best Guitar Picks, 101 Premium Picks (Plectrums) For Your Electric, Acoustic, or Bass Guitar - Light, Medium, Heavy, and X Heavy - Gifted in a Unique Pick Bag - Includes FREE Wedgie Pick Holder - by Pick Geek https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B01254SBD6/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_i_IYxuCbD6Q0MVK Trouble is, I lost the bags...

SH73 Posted March 21, 2019 Posted March 21, 2019 Same all the socks disappear in the washing machine. On the serious note. I keep losing mine.
EdwardMarlowe Posted January 21, 2020 Posted January 21, 2020 Somebody should attach one to a drawer runner to go up yer sleeve, Travis Bickle style...

Y'know, like the toothfairy, but for guitar players. And cheaper. 1

Kiwi Posted February 12, 2020 Posted February 12, 2020 They've probably all escaped and run off to set up a refuge where they feel empowered to explore a more plectrum orientated lifestyle that includes singing plectrum empowering world music, reading lifestyle magazines and periodicals exploring what it actually means to be plectrum aware, celebrating significant dates in the history of plectrums, promoting plectrum friendly destination holidays, and organising large scale public events to raise awareness of plectrum friendly alternative perspectives on pressing issues of public interest. 1
Si600 Posted February 14, 2020 Posted February 14, 2020 (edited) We have a red and black rug in a sort of paisley pattern in our rehearsal room. Whenever I drop a pick it's easier to get a new one out than find it. That's my BF Supertwin and GK Fusion in the background. Edited February 14, 2020 by Si600 1

Si600 Posted February 14, 2020 Posted February 14, 2020 I think you'll find, if you read some of the madder posts in the dark corners of instrument forums, that tone is all in the wood. Or the pickups. Or the strings. Or the paint. Or in your head. Delete as applicable. 1
Teebs Posted February 14, 2020 Posted February 14, 2020 I thought it was all in the molecules - the propagation of vibrations in the form of an acoustic wave...
Si600 Posted February 14, 2020 Posted February 14, 2020 It's probably in the synaptic signals between the neurons your brain. Or, put another way, it's all down to personal perception. 1
