$20 pick? I have a bridge to sell you. Gibbons used to use coins...that weren't worth that much.
They goddamn well better be for 20 bucks!glassjaw7":8scxej6v said:They are overpriced for sure, but they're also the best feeling/sounding picks I've ever used by a mile. It's unfortunate, but true.

I've tried using a penny before and realized that what you use does in fact drastically affect the sound, so it's not that farfetched. I just know that my dog can lift his leg to fart and somehow I'll lose my pick. I'm far too clumsy to spend that much on a pick.

I agree. Random Hero actually did a shootout between a black, red and ultex Jazz III. They all sounded slightly different, so there's no doubt that picks change your tone. However, there's no way I could justify $20 a pick given how often I lose them.

and they are made to order, how boutique is that? I thought the free V-Pick I was given at NAMM was nothing special, why is this $20.00 one so good?

I am going to try the Ultex Jazz III's, I have not tried any of the Ultex ones. I was not trying to be a dick on the tempo comment. Sorry if I came across like one, and even if you only play at a tempo of 40 and do strictly blues bends and pentatonic licks the Red Bears feel better.![]()
However AA stated he got 72 for $31 of the Ultex and I am anxious to try them out as well. The Standard Dunlop Jazz III's work fine overall for me, just stating in this post the Red Bear do feel better to me and I can tell a difference. I think Andy Wood has commented on these before as well, I could be mistaken.
Sorry again DonnieB if I came across in a negative way with the tempo comment, not trying to be a jerk at all.
