Adamas 2mm graphite picks for sale

strato · May 29, 2012, 08:42:06 PM

The picks that Trey uses and Jerry made famous. I have a ton of them, I cleaned out a store a few years back when they were discontinued. $40 per bag, if you buy a lot i will discount.

Thanks.

Jazztone 208 have satisfied my urge to buy any other picks. Pretty much the modern Adamas for $4 a pack.

A dunlop jazz 3 works incredibly well.

Doesn't Dunlop sells the Adamas now?

Yeah they're great! I fell into the "limited supply" trap and ordered some back in December. Since they're still going I may get more.

I did the same but have enough to last me a lifetime now. I find they wear down, but not to the point of being unplayable

Nice, never tried one and definitely want to. I have been using a Gravity Pick 3mm, which is awesome. I sometimes use a Dunlop Primetone, but its a little to dark and smooth.

Whats the breakdown on prices, lol - I might take some off your hands!

They were pretty astronomical for picks IIRC, I used USPS shipping and it came out to be like $24 for two packs

Yea, I saw the same thing on Dunlop's site. Its cheaper than a lot of picks - Gravities are about $5 each, I have three I got free... I know one popular brand on TGP (obviously no where else) are $35 each!

$24 is for a bag, so that is $2 each. I might get a bag, but you would think they could ship it for less than $7...

Haha yeah! I mean picks don't weigh that much. They're pretty snooty about shipping/billing addresses matching up also.

All that aside, the Adamas 2mm's are a fine pick that don't bend which allow your picking dynamics to ring though clearly. The price tag also ensures you'll keep better track of them!

Heady Jam Fan · May 31, 2012, 10:32:42 AM

Yea, your right. I usually keep good track of my pics nowadays. 2mm might feel slightly thin to me, but I have heard the graphite is pretty rigid. I also heard it has more attack and articulate low end than many other materials.

It does feel quite rigid, but that helps me hold onto it while playing. Moreso than the Gator grips I have been using. They're also a bit less forgiving than most picks in that it really transfers your dynamics to the string, sorry if that last bit didn't make sense.

Heady Jam Fan · May 31, 2012, 11:52:11 AM

I think that makes sense - its rigid so your movements are directly transferred into string motion, rather than a pick bending or forgiving. As I've seen it written, you wouldn't want to write with a floppy pencil.

Exactly, a strong pencil is important.
