Gravity picks are another one to look at.

The Dunlop Ultex Jazz are terrific, if you like the size/shape of the Jazz picks (and better than the Primetone material, in my opinion—though those are probably worth a try as well).

If I'm not mistaken, that's the pick I've used for years. Same size/shape as a Jazz III and looks like a fungal toenail. I've tried loads and always go back to that one. They do a thicker black Jazz III Ultex, but I didn't like that one so much.

I'm quite a big fan of Brit Picks - www.britpick.co.uk - they do a range of thicknesses and materials (I prefer the 1.22mm silcones), and I like that they're made from recycled plastic too.

The website looks atrocious, but I've never had any problems with service or anything.

Jim Dunlop Nylon 0.46 for me. Any heavier and they flick out of my hand!

tortex 3 picks, did original use .73 but have moved up to .88, Do switch between them though depending on the mood im in. haha

Went through a lot of picks through the years but normally been a Dunlop user. Have tried the Delrin, Gator Grip, Jazz III's, etc. Eventually settled on the Tortex Wedge, which is has a slightly wider shoulder area than the standard Tortex and easier to hold.

Jim Dunlop stainless 0.51mm (rigid) = IMO the best general purpose pick in the entire universe

I'm sure you can get them cheaper bit I think this is them https://www.amazon.co.uk/Dunlop-Stainless-Steel-Guitar-Plectrums/dp/B00CQ2R8NW/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1541456353&sr=8-1&keywords=jim+dunlop+stainless+pick

teckpick rigid brass picks give you a slightly more mellow sound, could be good for jazz & blooze

Chicken picks are pretty much all I use, shredder and BA3's.

I'm not slavishly loyal or anything, I try other things I like the look of, like the Dunlop flows for instance, but I've yet to find something I like that much.

Really want to try a Winspear

I don't think you're posting in the right part of the forum for that sort of advice....

Dunlop Ultex Jazz III 2.0 are very good and thick.

I went from EJ Jazz IIIs to these. I've used the Primetone and Flow versions too but gone back to Ultex 2.0s. I like them very much indeed.

The Jazz III was too small for me so I tried the Petrucci signature Jazz style picks and they've been my main pick for months now. Love em!

I've stuck with the grey Dunlop Nylon chaps for thirty years. Can't see me changing now.

I really wish my LGS stocked Ultex, flow and primetone picks.

Has anyone got a recommendation on somewhere that can do mixed sets?

I used to laugh at @TheMarlin for the ridiculous mini icebergs he insists on using. Then I spent a little time with the V-picks, found the one that suits me best and I’d never use anything else now. A total convert

Really useful pic (pun intended) thanks for that, helpful to see them side by side.
