"Always bring some spare picks to give to the fans when gigging out..."

yeah people will often ask for picks, if you have them plenty you can give them away, but if you're on a tight budget bring some used ones and give away those

Actually this is David's tip.

Its so true , always have some spare picks when gigging (possibly buy cheaper ones for just that purpose). I don't play with a pick as a bass player but people ask me for them anyway Drummers are in worst situation They have to give out drum sticks which are most expensive.

Nice one David then !

You are right, drummers have the most trouble after the end of show. But the again when you think about it, most people come up to singers guitar and bass players then drummers, so in the long run guitar players spend a lot more on picks then drummers do on sticks

Good tip I always have my stone pick, this is the one that I am using to play, and tons of "give away" picks with the BG logo and stuff like this

What, you don't give stone picks away to the fans? I guess that would be a little expensive, and I'd be more than happy with a BG logoed pick

They keep the room cool when you are gigging...I think

By the way I wonder if Mark Knopfler brings some spare fingers to throw out?!
