Damm you guys and your Ultex Picks thread.

[thiswaythatway]

Are those the regular sized ones with a sharp tip, Daniel?

I use Ultex JazzIIIs which are fantastic!

Yes, they're like the size of a regular Fender pick. I used Jazz III's for years but can't now. To small.

I've been using the Ultex Jazz IIIs but I just ordered some Sharp 1mm and 2mm pics to try out

I have a bunch of those here as well, I can't play those either, too small.

Now i know how my ex-girlfriends felt about me.

Dunlop needs to make Ultex Jazz III XLs and I would probably be set for life.

Now Dan, just try the Red Bear picks and you'll be even more pissed at us!

small pp? I just ordered some .90 and 1.0 to see how I like these compared to the jazz III that I can't hold for a long time.

Order a bottle of Stiff Nights, it'll set ya "straight"

Been using Ultex 1.00 sharps and jazz IIIs...prefer the sharps for everything except shred solos. For a better attack, I still dig Pickboy metacarbonate 1.00's.

I just started using the Ultex Sharp 1mm's about 3 weeks ago.
I love the way they feel, and love the sharp point.
My only complaint is that they wear out so damn fast and I'm not even a heavy picker at all.
I have been using those glow in the dark EBE alien face picks for about 10 years, and never even saw the slightest drop of wear on a single pick.
Wish the Ultex would last like that, but maybe it's just my picking style and the fact that they are pointed.

$20 a pick
No thanks.
For $20 a pick, it better make me play like Guthrie and NEVER wear out.
I don't see what could possibly make the pick worth $20.
I'm in no way cheap, but I'm not stupid either.

I thought the same way until I tried one, I was freaking floored. Too much money to spend on picks so I only keep three around at a time to have and I use the Jazz III's the rest of the time. But the clarity and pick speed I get with the red bear Jazz III is insane compared to the dunlop. Worth the $20 even though I will not buy many at a time or many in a given year. But to be honest they are the best picks I have played ever.....

I can't see spending $20 bucks for a pick either. The Ultex Jazz III's are good enough for me.

That about sums it up. I bet there was a time when you guys weren't "stupid" enough to buy a boutique or modded amp for several thousand dollars either, but you get what you pay for. It's worth buying at least one to see what you think.

I know what you mean. I'm now married to the 1.14's. Matter of fact, last weekend after a day of drinking, I cancelled band practice because I ran out of them and GC was closed

 

[Spaceboy]

20 dollar picks?! C'mon fellas, seriously?

Just take a razor a smooth them out. They'll last forever.

I love the ultex sharp 1.00 mm
