Well, hello...

This thing is nice.

Love the roasted maple, the satin neck, the comfort cut...well, just about everything. Vacation starts when I leave work today. Know what I'll be doing.

Beautiful.  Is that a real single coil, or a stacked hum bucker?

So free to anyone that wants them, I have a dozen each Jazz III XL Tortex 1.5mm, Herco 75, and Tortex III 1mm picks. Plus random assorted Fender 351 mediums.

 

Maybe some of the beginner guitar threads peeps like @Gourmand or @tigol would be interested in trying some different picks?

Funny you mention that. I just grabbed a Dunlop sampler pack to try out a bunch of things. Previously, I mostly used Dunlop gator grip 2.0mms (worn to the point of no longer having that feel) and an iFixit opening pick (which is FANTASTIC, btw).

But of them, my favorites are the Tortex 0.88mm, the Jazz III nylon, and the 0.88mm Max-Grip. That latter one has good tone (not the best) but for some reason seems to be the one where I can hit all the notes on the song I've been working on.

I'm really surprised that I like the Jazz III so much. Somewhat less surprised that it's gone missing and I can't find it anywhere... But it just feels so precise when I use it; but I struggle to hit chords easily with it, vs the larger picks.

Also surprised that, after using the 2mm gator grips all this time, that I don't really like either of the thinner ones. They aren't grippy, ironically; they keep slipping in my fingers.

Also hate the Ultex. I hate the way they feel and I hate the way they sound.

 

Also, since all my amps are in software, I finally found out what was going on with my audio interface's drivers, but that's probably for the amp thread or... something else. Basically had to change 9 million Windows settings... and now not only are the bugs gone, but I'm getting drop-free 0.7ms latency time. W00t.

I hate Ultex too, whatever material that is I don't want it. I used purple Gator Grips for my main pick basically the whole second half of the 90s, the main reason I actually switched to Tortex was simply because they wore out so fast.

 

I'm happy to send you this 12 pack of Jazz IIIs if you want 'em

Can't refuse that offer. Will DM.

Huh. My ultex pics sound great on a plugged in acoustic. Good combo of warmth and sparkle.

I can see that. I finger-pick my acoustic, so...
