Anyone else tried Cactus picks?
I ordered some on a whim from the ebaystore of the guy who makes them. I think thats the only place you can get them. But anyway.. i really liked them! It's almost impossible for them to slip your grip.  They are really cheap too.. here's the ebaystore: http://cgi.ebay.com/100-Cactus-Grip-Guitar...818159007r16294 The mediums are my fav so far of them. -------------------- Guitars: Schecter Stiletto Classic, Jackson SLSMG, Ibanez RG-380 Japan, Gibson Les Paul Studio
Amp: Marshall JMP-1 -> Rocktron Velocity 100 -> Marshall JCM-900 Lead 4x12 FX and stomps: T.C Electronics G-Sharp, Korg SDD-1200, Emma Transmorgrifier, BYOC Tribooster, GGG Green Ringer, Dinosaur Overdrive, Voodoo Lab SuperFuzz, Sovtek Bassballs, Line6 Tap Tremolo, EHX Screaming Bird. ___________________________________________________ My Lessons!

I might give them a try sometime. Do you have to buy them in 100 packs though?

Sounds good from your short review
 How much do they cost (for 100)?

I think you can buy smaller quantities too. I just went for the 100 pack. The pricetag was about the same as 10 picks would cost here in Norway
Emir, it's US $9.98 for 100 This post has been edited by Trond Vold: Aug 20 2009, 07:15 PM -------------------- Guitars: Schecter Stiletto Classic, Jackson SLSMG, Ibanez RG-380 Japan, Gibson Les Paul Studio

I know it's only a matter of minutes before i loose that one too After my latest ebay-binge, i now have around...... 250 picks in a box ready for use. 100 cactus, 10 v-picks and other assorted brands of various shapes and sizes. By my calculations i'll have one left in 4 weeks.

I took one of each pick from Trond earlier today, and after trying them out I really like them!
I'm ordering a bunch as well
