The "official" unofficial pick and string trading thread

[AniML]

Do you have a box or maybe a drawer of picks or strings that you optimistically bought a few too many to try and they just weren't your thing.. and doesn't trying out new strings and picks start to add up a bit?

In this thread we can list our "Haves" and "Wants" and then PM one another to make trade offers. And if a trade is arranged, the parties would typically pay their own postage and no funds would change hands, but in the end that would be up to the parties to work out.

The Trading Post has always been a place of honesty and fairness and if this catches on, we should have the same level of integrity here.

I've reached out to our mod before posting this and have his endorsement, and he has offered to sticky it .. thanks again, Mincer!

So I'll start..

Picks I HAVE to trade:
picks may have been tried but are in as new condition, no packaging


3 V-pick orig (branded promo pick from BG Pups)
V-pick switchblade

Pack of 3 Dunlop primetone 1.5mm smooth
Pack of 3 Primetone .73mm smooth
Pack of 3 Primetone .73mm grip

3 pack bundle EB Regular Slinky (.10-.46)
3 individual packs super slinky (.9-.42)

LOOKING FOR

That's all I've got for today..

Re: The "official" unofficial pick and string trading thread

I have a bunch of red Jazz IIIs I'll never use. Also just bought a pack of Petrucci Jazz picks, can probably spare 1.

I have a ton (maybe literally) of picks, let me go through and see what I can find that interests you.

Re: The "official" unofficial pick and string trading thread

Is there anything here you don't want?

Also, not exactly what you asked for with strings, but I have a set of 9-46 Elixir electric strings if you're interested.

Re: The "official" unofficial pick and string trading thread

Let me join the party. As you can see im pretty fond of the jazz shapes. Loving the petrucci flow. Would love to try the andy james too. Also anything 1.38 and above that is not too big would be nice. Anyway here is what i found right now. Might have more than one of each so shoot away if interested in anything or got something that i might like based on what i just said.

Yeah I would really like to try a couple different Jazz and I think I see a couple XLs in there too. Let me know if anything in my list I can swap you for. Thanks!

Re: The "official" unofficial pick and string trading thread

So here's the icebreaker for this thread... Jb from Hell has sent me a bunch of picks and I have some on their way to him. A few in there will likely get some regular use from me

Come on guys this is a great way to recirculate / swap / share some of those old picks (and strings) and try something new for the cost of postage

Re: The "official" unofficial pick and string trading thread

The DRs got wet at some point and many of them rusted, so I've got nothing for trade.

 

[Juankyman]

Re: The "official" unofficial pick and string trading thread

I have a few sets of dunlop 10-46 for your DRs if interested.

I don't really care for Dunlops, so I'll pass.

Re: The "official" unofficial pick and string trading thread

I have a bunch (5 or 6 sets I think, maybe more) of DR Pure Blues 11-50 I can no longer play due to tendonitis issues. I'd be interested in DR Tite Fit 10-46 or D'Addario EXL-110 (10-46) and possibly a couple sets of D'Addario EXL-120 (9-42).

I haven't tried Pure Blues in a really long time. Have NYXL 10-46 if you like those.

Also have an Elixir 9-46 set.

[JB_From_Hell]

Re: The "official" unofficial pick and string trading thread

Still have the 9-46 Elixir electric set if anyone wants them. Would trade for most any 10 or 11 set. Or picks.

 

[JB_From_Hell]

Re: The "official" unofficial pick and string trading thread

Seriously, nobody else?

Re: The "official" unofficial pick and string trading thread

I have four unwound 17 gauge Ernie Ball Slinky strings. I use 20 or 22 gauge wound strings.

The "official" unofficial pick and string trading thread

Found my picks.

Three packs:

1) Variety - some used, some new. Highlights: a few Jazz iii and Big Stubbies since those were the ones I used to use before. Also: Paul Gilbert pick - damaged as I had to fight a few people in the 90s to get it from the floor. Left is light, right is heavy.

2) V picks - fancy pick set, played them a couple of times, wasn’t for me. Quarter for size - not a Brian May pick.

3) Wood picks - went fancy again, two a bit used, rest like new

What I like:
1) picks - I now only use JD 207, sometimes V pick Medium R. Here:

Essentially, thick big picks with rounded corners - I pick with the upper corners.

2) strings - nickel wound 10 sets, could take also 11s. Could take flatwound 10-12 sets.

I live in NorCal

Let me know!
