Pick Recommendations Please...

What's Hot

in Guitar
I've tried lots of picks since I started playing just over a year ago, and I've settled on two that I really like and buy whenever I get a chance. 

For fiddly stuff I tend to use a Gravity Razor, but my everyday pick of choice is the Planet Waves Duragrip 0.70



The problem is, I can only find one place to buy them in bulk and they charge a tenner for postage which is just ridiculous for 25 picks. I can buy them individually at the studio I go to sometimes but haven't seen them very often in shops. Anyone know of somewhere that sells them for a reasonable price or can you maybe recommend me something pretty much exactly the same but more readily available? 

Thanks in advance

    They're similar shape to the Dunlop Tortex picks, though it looks like there's some kind of special grip on them?

    I use the Tortex Wedge and get mine in bulk (25 at a time) and the site has free delivery I think (haven't put an order in for a while actually). They're also easier to source as they're more well known.

    Yes, the all over grip pattern is what I like most about them. I get very sweaty fingers. I've used the tortex ones and they're fine for about ten minutes.

    Hmm you may like the Dunlop Max Grip standard then, they have that surface thing:



    And that's the site I get my picks from, for what that place charges you to deliver you can get 25 of them for 45p!!

    Thanks @Lestratcaster , I've ordered 25 of those. They do look like they'll do the job and they're a good deal cheaper even before the postage. 25 of the Planet Waves ones was coming out at £17. 

    Good company, looks like they've got lots of choice. Appalling web design though! That was painful!

    No worries, hope you enjoy them, I'm due to put in an order myself actually. For £10 I get 25 of them delivered free. Not a bad deal. I must put in about 2-3 orders a year.

    Make sure you have a stiff drink and get ready for swearing beforehand! 

    It wouldn't accept my address because it got stuck on post/zip code. Wouldn't accept letters even though I'd already put UK, just crap point of sale software bolted on I think. In the end I had to use PayPal so it took the transaction off site lol.

    Really? I've never had that problem before. I usually click the "I don't have a Paypal account" option and just pay by card. Works fine for me all the time. Maybe they've changed it recently.
