thats super overpriced,

i always ruin my picks by doing slides, and then they get notched and catch on strings when picking, but i hate buying new ones,
i mean, its like 5$ for 12 picks, screw that. but i finally gave in and bought some

What kind? Tortex picks don't wear down as fast as normal ones. Fender picks are a ripoff at $6 for a pack.

Also, Ultex picks are even better than tortex. I use ultex jazz picks myself, and I've been on the same 6 pack for about a month. They're also only available by special order where I live, so I'm a little more careful with them.

the only thing that happens to my picks is i lose them. i could use the same pick for the rest of my life if only i wouldn't lose it in a 2 hour timespan.
