Ole faithful.....

I'm curious to try the new Petrucci jazzIII picks. They have them on the Dunlop website but I have not seen them in stores yet.

Been using these for 6 and a half years and never looked at anything else, absolutely amazing.

Recently changed from ibanez Gilbert picks to

Thicker tho than 1.0. Just noticed there is even 2.0mm, currently using 1.4 which was thickest from local store - gotta get some 2s then. Main reason behind change was Gilbert picks being so thin, plus changed abit my hands position so larger pick worked better.

i Really dig the material. Sometimes it can be bit slippery when bit worn so i've carved some scratches with a knife.

Dunlop Tortex 1.14's. Thinking about switching to the Black fangs or Ultex Sharp 1.14's when I lose all of mine.

Bought some carbon fiber picks from RJL guitars (real carbon fiber, not that fake thing Dunlop sells).

I'm ruined! I need to pretty much trhow away every other pick I have because I know I'll never get back to them anymore.

I seem to have gotten used to Planet Waves' Extra Heavy (1.50 mm) Black Ice picks. I still need to try those Petrucci picks and have been meaning to try out the Dunlop Ultex Jazz III 2.0, but I never get around to ordering them. I guess I'm happy enough the Black Ices for now.

I've been very close to ordering some Winspear picks and/or Huf*chmid picks, but ultimately I haven't been able to justify the expense (particularly on the latter) given how little I play these days.

The Black Ice and Tortex Pitch Black Jazz III's are pretty good.

Been using big stubby but may go back to the white tortex sharps

 

[Omura]

I use:
Ultex jazz iii's
tortex pitch black jazz iii's
Black Ice 1.5mm jazz picks
I shred in-tune gp 1.14mm picks to dust very quickly, but I'll admit they feel good.
And I use a ......... jazz XL drop from time to time, lovely pick, but I find string skipping can be a little tricky, and it's got so much attack that it can be a little overwhelming sometimes.

 

[TheWarAgainstTime]

I've been using the 1.14mm Tortex Sharp picks for a good while, but I've been thinking of going to a thinner version like the .88 or 1mm

Gotta love the super sharp tips better than Jazz style picks IMO

 

[Steinmetzify]

Go back and forth between Gravity picks for heavy rhythms and Cactus picks for leads, although lately I've been doing more intricate stuff and have been using the Cacti picks a lot more. I don't like how fast they wear but they're cheap at $12 for 100 so NBD.

 

[axxessdenied]

ultex jazz iii xl are my fav

 

[sunung1188]

Ultex 1.0

 

[Shimme]

I'd been rocking tortex jazz 3 xls for a while, but tried the Petrucci Sig picks on a whim and they're actually freaking fantastic. They're now my go-to choice

 

[Chi]

Definitely Tortex Jazz's Heavy (the purple ones). Ordered me the 1.0 mm's to try those out as well. I love the Tortex material and the Jazz size, it's a no-brainer.

 

[Yianni54]

Tortex pitch black jazz 3 .73mm
