When Bill gave it to me I kinda looked at him funny like "WTF....you're giving me a pick that's split?" and he then he swooshed it down the string and I went
WoW....that is so cool. |

Location: Huntington Beach | I'm liking the Dunlop Ultex too. Sharp or regular in different gauges depending on guitar/song. Which raises a side question - do you play for the feel or the tone? Sometimes the slickest and fastest combo of tools yields the worst tone and vice versa. |

WoW....that is so cool. Well, I'll be. I thought the notch was there so you could rotate the pick to play leads by just feel instead of having to look at it ... the notch is directly opposite the tip for playing lead. For me, anyway. |

Maybe the man himself will drop by and explain the inspiration behind the brilliance.
Mike, you been awful quite. Surely you got one of these puppies with as many OFC events that you have been a part of. What do you think of it? |

Location: The Great Pacific Northwest | While I like the slightly textured, or maybe it's just a dull finish that makes it feel textured, picks, and I use both the Ovation Fan Club medium and lights depending on my mood...
My go-to pick since they came out in the 80's??? the Adamas Graphite.

| I've given away dozens of the BK picks, still keep a few for playing out so I don't lose my Red Bear and Blue Chip. They compared favorably with high-end plectra costing a helluva lot more in a blind test.

Hey, its Easter week: I have had a service almost every night including tonight and Then again on Sunday...goes with the territory...
I do have one but mine is pristine unaltered...I'd love to have one of the modded ones...and I also have several of the Adamas picks but they are just a bit too heavy for my style and my short fingers...nice stuff though...one of my real prize picks is an Ovation pick from the '07 Factory tour that J.B. gave to me...I like that one as well...but I rest my case with the green Mel Bay Originals....I also have some original Shark Fin picks given to me by Mick Jones of Foreigner...very cool picks...D'Andrea re-issued them a few years ago but the originals are better...made by a company in Sweden...I got mine in 1979... |

Location: NJ | I have been using different picks for a while.
remember a different material gives you a different feel
although lately I do prefer the 3 pointed picks I have come to really like the following made of rosewood ebony bone and horn.
your choice $3 ea 2/ $5 or a sample one of each $20 $7 for the USPS postman flatrate
we can throw these in with your mister big t shirt order ! (burnt orange ones only) |

Killer deal! |
