Red face Where to buy guitar picks?

Hello.

I was just wondering where to buy guitar picks.
Any picks would do.

Can you post the address of the shop also?
Im not familiar with only the shop name.
I heard about 'Davis', but where is that?

Also, you could post about how you mantain your picks and where you keep them and stuff. And maybe recommend a few.

Thanks.

Yeah, you can get picks in every guitar shop in Penisula. Check it out. Here is the website http://www.davisguitar.com The address is Penisula Shopping Centre, B140/413 Coleman Street. It is just at the basement. Once you got down the escalator, go to the second shop.

get a small metal tin from like ricola or something, eat the candy, wash it and keep all your picks in it. helps if you lose your picks a lot. and you can get picks at almost every guitar shop in singapore I would think, seeing as you're not looking for a particular brand.

Nearly all the shops that got sell guitar got sell picks.

Google "guitar shops in singapore" will offer you a host of links for you to do your research.

Good luck!

thats one way to keep it, but be sure not to lose that box though.

you can try Ranking and Swee Lee at Bras Basah too.

Picks? Being a bassist who needs picks, real bassist play with fingers.......ok kidding kidding.

Any half decent guitar shop would sell picks, even those HDB block shop types.

I assume you are playing bass? i suggest getting those thicker, stiffer picks meant for bass string. Guitar picks are too floppy.

Or you can always improvise...paper clips, 5 cent coins,hair clips etc etc all have been proven to be handy whenever a pick is not around.
