Been going back and forth between picks for a while, but ended up with Red Bear Big Jazzers. Amazing picks, lasts for a long time, feels great in your hand and sounds great. Best picks Ive ever tried. :)

Tortex 0.88m(Green) or EBE Crash Site Medium/Hard, depending on my tuning.

Ibanez Medium w/ sanded grip. I'm not really into the sanded part but I gotta drive quite a distance in order to get any other picks.. One gets used to everything :)

I use Dunlop Tortex Jazz 1.14mm exclusively

this is the only pick will not slip out from my sweaty hand, only downside of this pick is worn out pretty fast.

I use those as well, also the black ones (in the 1.14mm gauge)

Not sure what the difference is between them other than the color.

And for me they actually last pretty long, I can use one of those picks for about a month until it's worn out too much and I have to grab a new one.

Question for you Dunlop Tortex guys, how flexible are those? I've been using my Dunlop Nylon 1mm's for over 5 years now but am looking to try something new. I tried some Planet Waves but they're just too freakin' stiff for me. I want something *slightly* flexible like the Nylons.

I switch between Dunlop Gator 1.5mm and Planet Waves Black Ice 1.14mm plecs. Depending on what mood im in at the time!

Dunlop Ultex Jazz III, and I will probably never use anything else.

I've started using dunlop gator's lately and tend to switch between the 1.14 and the 1.4s and occasionally an icepick, but am still too worried about fucking up the finish on my baby to use them for heavy playing

I'm adding another vote to the Jazz III's. I switched to them very recently after using Fender Mediums for a long time, then trying out a bunch of heavy picks. The Jazz III's are definitely my favorites, and I've cleaned up my picking alot with them :shred: .

I've been using Dunlop Stubbies lately (1.0 and 2.0) since my local guitar shop doesn't have any Jazz III's I like them but they feel weird when my hand gets all sweaty.
