Of all the places to find common ground.
I thought I was the only fool on earth that liked those, and it wasn't due to poverty (we were), but that's actually what I liked. It's a strange world.
I'll be damned. Well, that's one thing we have in common.
Mine was both poverty and taste. But I was the only one of my friends that used them and they use to give me tons of shit about that. Until I shredded their faces off!
I have an old Guitar Magazine, where in the back it's got the sound characteristics of all the different materials of picks, along with other info on them. Don't have a scanner, but could transcribe it later if anyone is interested.

LOL no shit I'm going to start throwing those suckers into a dish. When I get up to 15-20 or so I'll PM one of your guys and mail em out if you want them
As far as picks effecting tone....I'm more shocked by those thinking they don't rather than those thinking that they do. I've been using Tortex lately. Switching to the old Fender Mediums is a completely different attack. Much snappier.
Hell, pick up a bass pick & start playing and tell me you don't hear a difference

That's alright, I've been using tortex picks for many years, now.
But, the bread closures were my mainstay for a long time. And yes, they mostly came from Thomas's English Muffins.
White Fender Mediums. I don't like the turtle shell.

I thought that was what Grolsch bottle seals were for.
Grolsch bottle seals are excellent straplocks as well. I got a D'Andrea guitar kit one time that came with a few of those plastic ties, they said they were good to use as straplocks. I thought it was odd, but they do work if you need them.
I feel my soul go cold... only the dead are smiling.
I was given a V pick today so I tried it with an open mind and yes it does stay put like they claim but it darken the guitars tone.
Its a very smooth (the beveled edges) and it was very comfy maybe I'll try some of their others and find one that will provide a brighter tone.
