How many picks…

[Montelovesco]

do you loose during a year? Me: a lot…

ETA: I know it is the wrong brand. But then it is checkerboard…

I generally keep a Jazz III (red only, please) in my pocket and am oddly able to keep up with it until the edges are worn sufficiently to throw it away.

I can't recall the last time I lost a pick.

As a Blue Chip user, I manage to no longer lose my picks.  It's like sunglasses, the cheapies disappear in weeks/months, the pricey ones stay with me until they are too scratched to use anymore.

I have long since settled on V-Picks, or sometimes Gravity. They are harder to drop or lose. Price may have something to do with being careful.🤔 That little 5th pocket on blue jeans seems to be a pretty secure place to keep one at hand.

Seems logic - but what do you use to throw at your fans? Cheap copies? 😁

She is definitely not a fan!

I play in church. Throwing a pick would be considered... well... bad form... 🙃

I had and lost two Blue Chip picks. One was lifted from and Open Mic music stand. Nothing so expensive for me any more.

My pocketknives do not get lost when they are cheap.  Nicer ones seem to be the ones that get lost.  

A few years ago there were bags of picks on eBay sold by someone closing down a music store.  They have the store name on them.  Big deal.  So, there are a few picks in the guitar cases and bags nearly full.  There ought to be plenty of picks in each guitar case, but my trait of being cheap keeps that from happening.  With a gross of cheap picks there ought to be no worries about them getting lost or wearing out.

Stopped using picks in the early ‘80s. Problem solved…

…except not quite: cracked a fingernail on my picking hand midway through a 27 hour 4-flight trip to a gig in Singapore. (Still don’t believe that none of the flight attendants had an emory board or nail file.)
