Dunlop Jazz III[views:2595][posts:21]__________________________________ [Apr 30,2007 4:08pm - brian_dc ""] [img] just got in a shipment of these. After playing with one for about 10 minutes every other pick I've ever owned feels like a paddle. This shall be my pick for all time now. These suckers are precise. |
| __________________________________ [Apr 30,2007 4:10pm - Niccolai ""] I've used them since I started playing guitar. I ordered 3 packs of them of musician.com (usually 6 come in these perticular packs) and they send me three boxes with 20 packs of six in them and only charges me for the 3 packs. So I have like a lifetime supply of these fuckers. |
| __________________________________ [Apr 30,2007 4:12pm - brian_dc ""] yeah, I bought 8. So I figure as long as I don't lose a million, these are pretty rugged picks, so I should be set for awhile. I love you get shit for free though. *be's jealous* |
| __________________________________ [Apr 30,2007 4:12pm - brian_dc ""] *8 packs of 6 |
| __________________________________ [Apr 30,2007 4:16pm - Niccolai ""] haha. These picks last like 2 years each, and even when they dull down, you can rub them into the carpet and it sharpens them again. Also, when I can't find my box of picks, I open the laundry dryer and there are about fifty stuck inside the door from leaving them in my pockets. |

| __________________________________ [Apr 30,2007 6:47pm - Archaeon ""] Can't stand these. I bought a bunch of picks a few months ago to try some other stuff out and couldn't stand the dinky ones. [img] forever love |
| ____________________________________ [Apr 30,2007 6:54pm - fleshfries ""] as soon as i used a jazz III i was hooked....i also like the Jazz II.....its hard for me to play with anything else....except....ehhh nevermind :P |
| _____________________________ [Apr 30,2007 7:21pm - ZJD ""] [img] These are all I've ever used and I haven't found anything better. Everything else seems too rigid and snappable to me. |

Everything else seems too rigid and snappable to me. Amen! I used the yellow dunlops for close to 15 years, and after switching to these I'll never use a thick pick again. As for the jazz picks, I tried em out when I was a teenager. They're great, if you like retardedly thick picks and have fingers like a barbi doll. |

| __________________________________ [Apr 30,2007 8:07pm - Niccolai ""] They come in different thicknesses. |
| __________________________________ [Apr 30,2007 8:44pm - brian_dc ""] for me, there's really no value for flexibility in my picks. As far as skinny fingers go...well, you got me there. I have long skinny fingers...I'll take it as an advantage. |

| __________________________________ [Apr 30,2007 8:46pm - brian_dc ""] I already have arthritis in my legs and forearms from sports stuff. I'm waiting for the day when my fingers go. First I've heard of this having any relation to arthritis. |
| ________________________________________ [Apr 30,2007 8:50pm - ArrowHead NLI ""] Well, just from common sense, someone with big huge knobbly knuckles like myself is going to have a lot more surface area to grind. |

| _____________________________________ [May 1,2007 7:27am - Joshtruction ""] I play dunlop tortex in different thickness depending on strings, music, and tuning. If you match the pick to your set up they are amazing. |
| ____________________________________ [May 1,2007 8:05am - I_am_not_me ""] Jazz III's rule. Yeah, I wear 'em down a good bit, but not nearly as fast as I do other picks. |
| _________________________________ [May 1,2007 8:08am - brian_dc ""] the last picks I got were tortex 1.14mm picks. After about 30 minutes with those things they were rounded and shitty and I'd have to file them. So, this is a big step up in durability for me. |
