Dunlop Plectrum Ultex 427 Jazz III XL

Having tried a million different pick shapes and sizes without finding anything that I really loved, I finally settled on these. The jazz shape is excellent for playing styles like rock, metal or jazz that require faster picking, however I always found standard jazz picks were too small for my hands. These are the perfect balance of the two as their slightly larger size makes them ideal for those of us that want to play fast but still be able to hold on to the pick. The raised "Dunlop" logo on the pick also makes it very easy to grip and hold on to. The ultex material is super tough and takes a lot longer than other materials like tortex or nylon to wear down.

I really felt in love with the Dunlop JAZZ III shape.
I used the red ones for years and there wasn't a reason, why I should search for other picks.
But some day, I started to make pick slides onstage and the sound of the pickslides wasn't that good with the normal red and black Jazz III picks.
So I've found these Ultex Jazz III. They are a bit stiffer and now, my pickslides are sounding MUCH better. And I think, the grip on these Dunlop Ultex Jazz III is even better than on the normal Jazz III picks and they seem to last longer. I'm really happy with them.

I still like to use Tortex for playing different kinds of metal and bass when I use a pick, but now these Ultex made Jazz are my standard pick.

Personally, the Jazz III shape feels great but I do enjoy having more grip area, so the XL fit better.
The Ultex material feels way better than the usual nylon and lasts way way longer than nylon, tortex, or whatever else.
It also has great tone. In my opinion, more clarity than other materials, but not harsh like thin hard nylons.

I just wish it had a different colour because this one makes it hard to find when dropped.
