    Help me pick a pick o.o

    So I didn't really know where to put this but I guess I'll just put it in Tech Talk.

    The picks I now use are Tortex Pitch Black Jazz III's

    They sound and feel perfect! Except that...

    They last ONE DAY!!

    And it's really pissing me off. I love how they add to the treble, and they feel great, but I'm going through packs of them wayyy too quickly. So, I need a new pick. I was thinking either a stainless steel pick or those dava master control picks, but I'm worried they won't add to the treble. What do you guys think?

    So wait are you playing so much you wear them down?
    Or are you losing them?

    No, they just wear down so quickly.
    They barely do; it's only the edges, but it affects my playing. It's kind of my picking style too; I pick diagonally.

    The nylon's take a shit load of abuse!!!! As far as the SGF pick- a few of the guys came up with the idea and designed the pick. Then the idea died Then I read about the picks and help funded the project. Pete put the order in and is distributing out to the active users who gave him their address.

    When I pick the string, I hit it with the pick at an angle to the string, not parallel to it.
