Cato Posted December 7, 2018 Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dlloyd Posted December 8, 2018 Author Share 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Machines Posted December 14, 2018 Share Posted December 14, 2018 But brightly coloured ones and avoid black etc. Easier to find 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dlloyd Posted December 18, 2018 Author Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Y'know, like the toothfairy, but for guitar players. And cheaper. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kiwi Posted February 12, 2020 Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Si600 Posted February 14, 2020 Share 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.

Si600 Posted February 14, 2020 Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Si600 Posted February 14, 2020 Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
