I found my favorite picks on the planet!! I've been looking for these for some time now, well that is when I think to look. I was running really low, down to about two actually. I'm really good at losing these things so I'm very happy to have found them. (Not sure, but I think there is a certain cat that lives here that likes to bat them around with her paws and then I usually never see them again.)
I considered ordering 10 semi trucks full of these picks just in case they discontinue them. I had called up Sweetwater sound a year ago and asked if they could order some for me and the sales guy on the phone thought he was a real hot shot. He said they don't carry them and then went on saying what's so special about those picks anyway, why don't you order something that we have in stock bla bla bla... Not the best tone of voice either. I told him "what can I say, I'm a picky person." (I need a snare hit and a cymbal after that one right?) I then decided that they would permanently loose my business. Not like it would effect them anyway, I may have bought like 0.3 things from there. I'd rather support a small privately owned store like the one I purchased these at today.

Picks are such personal things.
They have to be just right.
I've had the same pick for about
12 months, its covered in tooth marks. Trouble is it's transparent and almost impossible to find when
I put it down. I think its time to seek out replacements.
Funny that you should say that about Sweetwater. I just went through the same thing not with a pick but with some plug ins and another order. They seemed to want me to change what I was looking for so I told them nicely that I will no longer bring my small business to them.
Yes, Picks are very personal, I spent a lot time finding the right kind for me.
Sweetwater can be a drag to deal with although I enjoy flipping through their catalogs. Just ordered an octave pedal this afternoon and chose not to use Sweetwater
Yeah right Stevo we can use the Sweetwater catalog and then order from some one else great idea.
