I used to use the Jazz III's until I found that playing live I couldn't hold onto the damn things! Then for years I swore by the purple Toties (green in a pinch) til I got some of these:

Order them custom, like yer guitars!

 

[rythmic_pulses]

Jazz III's and I won't use anything else ever again!

 

[Scrubface05]

Cool picks, usually a .88.

 

[AdamWasilla]

Dunlop Standard Tortex 1.00mm.

I do tend to wear them out quickly - recently became interested in trying out the thicker jazz picks.

 

[AdAstra2025]

Dunlop Tortex Pitch Black Jazz 1.18mm or Dunlop Ultex Jazz III...Playing with a standard size pick feels like I'm playing with a freaking paddle now. Sharp Jazz picks are the way to go

I'm trying Dava Master Control Nickel Silver pick, I love it so far. It's very comfortable and is like the best of nylon and metal picks in one.
Does it djent? Sure

Hello, this is my first post here! I'm a big fan of Dunlop Jazz III's. Ever since I started using them, all other picks feel like huge frisbees. They were the first picks I was ever really amazed by.

I have been switching back to regular sized picks the last few weeks (from Jazz III's).

I found that it was a pain in the ass to strum chords while standing up with Jazz's. And honestly, it took me little more than a week to get back on track with the regular sized ones, and I play some things even better with them. Not to mention my problem with strumming is way gone.
Fast tremolo picking is not quite as fluid, but I was always pretty shitty at that anyway

I switch from every type of pick under the sun. My default is either a Jazz III (Nylon with textured grip) or the Black Tortex in Jazz III size.

For acoustics my go-to pick is a Fender Heavy celluloid.

I also use Tortex Sharps in 1.4mm on occasion for heavy riffing.

I also pick with my fingers and use shark pics (elastic thumbpick). For hybrid picking I typically use a Jazz III.

 

[Robby the Robot]

Currently using the Carbon Fiber Jazz III's and the Tortex TIII's.

Dunlop Jazz III XL

Best picks I've played.

 

[dreamermind]

best pick ever.

 

[Augury]

best pick ever.

they actually look pretty smilar to jazz 3 xl, try them out, i think they are even more sharp at the end

 

[edsped]

Jazz III XLs are a little sharper, but they're also bigger and feel completely different.

 

[Santuzzo]

I think the Planet Waves Black Ice picks are similar to the Dunlop jazzIII Tortex picks. They are just a tiny bit bigger.

 

[Mysticlamp]

anyone on here ever used the red bear picks?

Yup, I ordered one some time ago, and while it is a great pick, it was too thick for me, but that was my own fault, since I ordered x-tra heavy.
Now I have one heavy gauge in order.

I always like to try new picks, but I will most likely stick to the Dunlop Tortex JazzIIIs.
