3 or 4 $'s for a bag of things with a tortoise on, or it could be a turtle.
I'm a fingerpicker 99% of the time so the benefits of a good pick would be lost on me |

I can't agree with this. Great tone is great tone, irrespective of what you're using or how much you paid for your plectrums. If you can't do it with a cheap pick an expensive one won't help, no matter what miracles the maker promises you.

I refuse to answer this question...

True, as long as there is only one "great tone". Can you get the same "great tone" out of a Martin 0-18 as you can a D-18 as long as you use the same 50c pick?

Something like 20$ is enough for me, the pick I use are mainly Timber Tones clear and black horn , you can get them for 5 or 6 dollars in Europe , don't need to spend more, and especially not for a synthetic material

Why not? The guitar dictates how it will respond to your playing, and it's up to the player to recognise what a guitar's tonal strengths or weaknesses are, and work with them.

I have a couple of Charmed Life picks. I paid about $35 for the brown and $25 for the natural. I like them both and have not used any from the pile of other picks I have since I received the CL's.

But the players shouldn't recognize what the pick's tonal strengths and weaknesses are and work with them?

I bought a big bag of Fender Heavies.
Probably cost me $.40 each. Greg Rappleye |

Winner!!!
Been using Fender Mediums since 1974. Fake turtle color. I once bought Thins but hated them.. I have no idea what they cost. I usually buy two or three bags at a time and dump them in a small cup in my office. I tend to find them all over the house, in the cars, washer/dryer, bathrooms, jeans I haven't worn since last winter.... |

I bought 4 Blue Chips--I mean, who buys one pick? Also a couple Wegens. But they make my guitars sound dark and dull, so they're not my favorites. I like a lot of Dunlop picks: Primetone, Ultex, the purple ones with a turtle on them, etc. But I suck with a flat pick, so I finger pick most of the time, with or without a Fred Kelly thumbpick. I did get a manicure once, but that was a free sample, so guess it doesn't count.

About $30 for my Red Bear type F. I like Wegen Bluegrass picks too and they are a lot cheaper.
