Apparently we have different views on picks.
Some folks aren't as fortunate and 50 bucks is 50 bucks.

The JJB jack is just fine, no issues with mine.

Hi rd

I've never paid full-retail-price for a K&K (there are techs and repair people with dealer licenses who sell them routinely for $80 around here).

Locally, I can get a K&K pickup and have it installed for $135, and a dual source for under $200.

Every time I play in front of a crowd my sound represents me to the audience. That's why I show up with a $350 preamp. My guitars are all serious investments, and my cheapest is around a $600 guitar, and even it has a Dual source rig in it.

My 'youngest' K&K rig is 9 years old, my oldest now nearly 14 years old. Pro-rate the cost over that time period, and I'm in my pickup system for less than the price of a couple set of strings a year.

I'm not tempted to save $50.
