I don't play with picks, that is even cheaper!

[Ironbird13]

Well since it's made from meteors they need a space ship, unless they're lying and it's actually made out of meteorite.



...sorry

Believe it or not, some things sell better when they're expensive. I can't remember what it's called (it's been a few years since I've had a soc class) but it's the same reason that people will pay over $100 for a pair of Air Jordans. A few boutique pedal builders follow the same line of thought (thankfully none of the awesome builders on here ascribe to that nonsense). But despite all that fancy mumbojumbo, I can't see $50 guitar picks selling all that well...but who knows

NO ONE CAN HEAR THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN YOUR $50 DOUCHE PICK AND A CREDIT CARD

My girlfriend's mom gave me a gift certificate to blue chip for my birthday. Haven't ordered anything yet, but I'll let you know how it is when I get one. I also have some John Pearse rosewood and ebony picks, which are a nice change of pace. But yeah, most of the time I'm grabbing the purple tortex.

I would be doubly angry with myself for buying the stupid thing in the first place and then losing it ten minutes later.
It would happen, guaranteed.

This.

I'm lucky to be playing with the more pointy end half the fucking time.

Also, this.

I'm sorry to go off topic, but that gif in your sig is freaking me out foomanfat...

Well, they are pretty freaky people. My old roommate loved that crap, and I loved to hate him.

i mean spending 50 bucks on a pick is cool if you've got 50 bucks to spend on a pick and i'm making 50 dollar picks, but in any other situation i'd think it a foolish waste of money

...that sums it up fairly well. nothing more to add.

except....well ,maybe this:

also i don't really use picks so what the fuck

[Nychthemeron]

i like using this 7mm pick that i got a while ago, just feels better on my hands as i'm playing for a while. wasn't that expensive though.

though hell, if you're spending 50 bucks on a pick you might want to rethink if it's really gonna make you happy having it.

Stupidity?



My brother got a job as manager in a booze store years ago. They had some crap Spanish beer they couldn't sell and had been discounting it for months so it was sitting there priced lower than a bottle of piss and still not even the jakies would touch it.
First thing he did was chuck an enormous price tag on it and a note about how no-one expects the Spanish Inquisition.
Sold the lot in a week.

People are stupid.

Wegen Fattone?

[Nychthemeron]

actually a wegen 7. i dont know why the fatter picks feel better, but my hand hurts much less after a few hours of playing with it than when i use tortex .73s.

it's not about "mojo tones" and such cause really, a pick isn't gonna do shit for your tone. it just felt better on the hands. had i not tried one before since a friend of mine had one, i probably would have been more wary of it.

i wanna get a seafoam strat with a maple neck and pay it exclusively wiht a shark tooth
