I'm recently getting annoyed, my picks are lasting about a week or 2 to the point where theyre well worn, enough to find using a new pick much easier. Just wondering how long everybody else finds their picks' last. Btw I use Jim Dunlop Tortex .88

No Idea, I lose them before they wear out
Probably because I buy my Dunlop Tortex 1.14s by the gross, never lost them before thatZerberus Industries: Where perfection just isn't good enough.

Had this dunlop stubby for about a year! Surprised I haven't lost it really...
Hmm, you seem to really get through them. I don't think it's that unusual; I've read a number of times in the forum that people need to change their picks often. Probably a good idea too - if it gets a crack mid-set and one of your strings get's caught, it can be a little embarrassing.Gibson Les Paul w/ Seths. Strung with EB 12's

i am in the same boat with Zerberus i usually lose mine before they are warn out past a useable state. i use 44R Nylon Standard jim dunlops.. the black 1mm. i love the little grips they have on them after a couple hours of giggin my hands can get sweaty and i can start droppin picks but i don't have that problem with these.
btw- mr wolf or anybody else that has the boss ge-7... does it make a big difference for you? did you have a really bad sound before or did you think it sounded good then you got that pedal and really got what you were after? i was thinking about adding one to my arsenal but wasn't sure if it would be worth it.Last edited by Chi3f; 03-23-2004, 12:04 PM.boreddddddddddd

Lol, I loose em too before they get worn out. I use 1.14 gator grips so I think the can last quite some time.
The shortest living pick I had was a Paul Gilbert signature model, I liked it a lot but after 1 hour of playing my strings just completly ate the pick leaving pickdust all over the guitar.
Don't ever do pickslides with celluloid picks!
