QUOTE (Sircraigery @ Apr 6 2009, 08:53 PM)  Same, they don't go sideways when chugging. I have 2 with metal tips that sound deadly. Do they all have the beautiful, thin and invaginated shape? I see the metal tip one on Amazon and it is the only one with a shot of it's profile. Are the a bit larger than the jazz III, which ones do you recommend aside from the one that involves metal-on-metal contact with the strings. I don't know about the metal tip. :-) QUOTE (iamblackmo @ Apr 6 2009, 09:09 PM) Do they all have the beautiful, thin and invaginated shape?

I don't know about the metal tip. :-) All these "control tip" picks look interesting. I am not sure the difference in the Derelin (purple), Celluloid Rock (yellow) picks are. The jazz tip seems like it would instantly feel familiar to me because of the pointy tip and the shape. Once again, it is a bit pointy. Anyone know of a place that is selling a variety package of one of each? http://www.amazon.com/Dava-Control-Guitar-...8508&sr=1-1 Would it be a good idea to buy this and try them each out? |

QUOTE (Outlaw2112 @ Apr 6 2009, 08:19 PM) try these sometime outlaw. I tried the dava from your rec. It is fine, for my taste, but.... http://elderly.com/accessories/items/PKPC-1.50.htm the phat line. the 1.3 is ok, but you would want the 1.5. They also have a thin variety of this. Don't care for it, the nylon is softer on those, and they are too thin. The nylon on the phat line is harder than most picks. These are the only picks I really care for. |

They are ok. Better than most picks in my view. But you should have bet me on North Carolina, this year, I would have bet my whole 20 Dava pick collection. Well all but a couple, just in case I change my mind on them, which probably won't happen. I do like to have a metal one, just for kicks. Sort of like having a V pick to me, just to use once in awhile for kicks. |

Have you tried the V-Picks?
They are thicker than JazzIIIs but very comfortable I think. I switched to them and that's all I've been playing for the last few months... I use the small pointed ones. -------------------- www.youtube.com/Wallimann

QUOTE (skennington @ Apr 6 2009, 09:39 PM) Been thinking about you this March Frank and started to issue a challenge.. I was a bit worried about UConn. I think they would have made it more interesting. State still has a pulse, we'll see. Care to send me one of those Dava's, maybe I could get a Lawson autograph for you...  Kidding of course.  Off to watch the rest of the game..Agree, UConn would have made it a game, or Louisville. But you know how it is, one bad game and you go down, and it is hard to have 6 good games in a row. I figured you should have taken this year, as you returned everybody, and North Carolina has shown that in March. But now you will lose most everybody to graduation or pros as we did last year. But with our programs, rebuilding means we make it to the sweet 16, final 4 the next year. If you want a full selection of Dava picks to try out, I will send them to you. Well I have the rock pointed, rock rounded, metal, and original, I got several of each. Email me at [email protected] if you want them, with your address. I can also send you a V pick rounded if you don't have one, and want to try that out, you might like that, I have 2 rounded medium V picks, and rarely use them, use my V pick diamond when I want a V pick.

Maybe the Dunlop Jazz H3 are something for you. They are basically Jazz III Picks out of that tortex material. They wear down more quickly than the Jazz III though.
But hey, picks are cheap, just go to a guitar store and grab one of every kind that might suit you Jonas -------------------- My Website | My Gear | Elixir Nanoweb Strings Review | Installing Schaller Security Locks

Thanks for the offer Frank. May just take you up on that V-Pick offer. And yes, your right about North Carolina. We will definitely be rebuilding next year. It was quite a night in Chapel Hill. I'm about a hundred miles away and could here the partying this morning when I got up for work.

I really like the Stagg Celluloid picks, and I think they fit your description, although they are about the same size as a torrtex.

Have you checked out the Paul Gilbert signature pick. It seems to meet all your specs
 Thin, Stiff, Pointy, Larger than Jazz III, Small than Tortex Nate |
