Oh, same here. I don’t ever plan to lose picks but it seems to happen anyway. Lol

If you are missing picks check the dryer.

I am always on the hunt for a good pick.
Im aware of Gravity picks, V-Picks, Dragons heart (I do have a few of these but Im not loving them) etc...
but I just havent pulled the trigger on them....until now.
Just for the hell of it I bought a gravity pick from sweetwater.
I got the 1.5mm Classic pick.
I was skeptical at spending $4.99 for just one pick but Ive got to say that Im pretty impressed!
Its very comfortable and stays in place without slipping. The edges have a nice bevel on them which helps the pick glide through the string effortlessly.
Ill be curious to see how well it holds up over time. It seems like a very solidly made pick...
I put bevels on most, if not all of my picks. You don't? It takes like 2 mins with a decent file.

It's crazy, to me how many people can't hang on to their picks. In over 2 years, I've lost 3 picks.
Three.

Why would I waste my precious time filing a brand new pick?
If you need to file a pick to make it usable, then you aren’t using the right pick.

Not going to lie, these Dunlop Primetone sound and feel the best of ALL the picks Ive tried, the durex material has a little more attack than Tortex (which is my got to in the past)
They are expensive, I pre-apologize for bringing these into your life.
Not trying to be that guy, but they’re Ultex.

I expect to find multitudes of picks as I pack up to move.

Did you know: Ultem is the trade name for Ultex, and I believe the Clayton material. Tortex is Delrin, with some different treatment done to it.
The crazy expensive BlueChip picks are made from some aerospace plastic used in rocket engines. The shop was making the bearings with that piece, the head guy tried making a pick from it, and it was pretty great. The material is somewhere over 1000sq/ft.

I have heard similar comments about the Brossard picks. It does not take long to get used to the clunkiness and after a short while you get accustomed to it.

I really think the feel and response of any Ultex pick material is the absolute best -everyone should try one -Dunlop Prime Tone is one option.
Ultex is good stuff. It isn't too clicky, and feels good on the fingers.

Who said anything about it being required to make it usable? You better go back and read that again.

If it were usable to begin with you wouldn’t need to put a bevel on it.
You better choose your wording better.
