Best Jazz III XL-esque Pick?

[se7en]

I was looking at Red Bear's version, but it costs $20...would probably be worth to me, though, if it lasts a ridiculously long time.

Yeah, until you lose it. You might want to look into the Cool Picks Juratex Jazz picks.

Yeah, there's always that factor...

Thanks, I'll check out the Cool Pick Jazz pick.

Ultex or the Planet Waves Black Ice. I think that is what they are called anyway. I switch between which ever one I can pick up first off my amp.

Red bear picks look cool, but I would definately lose in a couple of days. I would stick with the Dunlop jazz IIIs.

I'm interested also, aren't the Red bear tortoise? I wonder what thats like.

I use the Planet Waves Black Ice(stupid name) 1.5mm
They last longer than the jazz III's and have a more refined tone(to me)
They are also slightly bigger and are much much cheaper.
I had a heavy Red Bear Tortise pick and it was great... But It wore down just like any other pick. Sounded bright and warm at the same time.

Are there any Jazz III styled picks that are made of delrin? I love the sound of the delrins (similar to the fender heavies), but have recently switched to the nylon jazz III's. I like the hard, brittle click of the delrins.

What are the pitch blacks like?

Best picks I've ever used (haven't tried Red Bear though).

I use the Cool Picks Juratex Jazz picks. One very cool thing about them is as they wear, you can drag them through carper to "sharpen" the edge and make it new. I end up using a single pick for several weeks. Sure it gets smaller as time goes on, but not enough to worry about.

I do that with all pics, even the usual Tortex picks, as i like to sharpen the tip slightly so its not as rounded as normal
