Who was it suggested Jazz 3 picks.

Devil#20 · September 2020

Well I thought I'd buy half a dozen and give them a go. That was a few weeks ago and the sock monkey as just stolen the last one so I've gone back to using full size picks. Jesus Christ I'm all over the place and fingers and thumbs. I can't use the damn things now I've got used to the Jazz 3's. Put in an emergency order on Amazon to get a load of them tomorrow. That was something I didn't expect to be doing. So although I was sceptical at first I've got to admit they do make a difference and do tighten up your playing.

Do you mean Jazz III?

Didn't know there is a Jazz 4.

carlos · September 2020

Hold up, surely they are Jazz III's?

Jazz 5/4 - Brubeck sig model.

Devil#20 · September 2020

Yep. Sorry. I meant 3's. Now corrected.

They’re cool picks, I found the thing I liked most was the tip more so than the size. If you want something regular sized with the jazz style tip check out the TIII. It’s a tortex pick with a Jazz III shaped tip

I'm using these now....amazing grip with them.

+1. The 1.14mm TIII is the perfect pick for me. I used the Jazz III for years and years but found they lack something when playing heavy rhythm. The TIII solves that for me, best of both worlds.

I really love them.

The red one is great, the carbon fibre even better.

Sassafras · September 2020

The only pick I can get on with is the Jazz Stubby.

octatonic · September 2020

I shifted from Jazz III's to Planet Waves Black Ice.
They are much better.

+1 again. I feel like I can't dig in enough with a Jazz style pick. I am partial to the green T111's (.88?). I do pick up a purple tortex jazz iii once in a while though. Prefer that material to the nylon.

Think it was @shaunm maybe?

Love Jazz III - originals or Ultex.

My other favorite pick is the Nylon Big Stubby - which cant be much more different.

Just ordered some carbon, will give them a go. Love the red ones (nylon?). Accurate, great sounding and yet still somehow good for a bit of strumming.

I'm a long time Jazz 3 user and like them. They're perfect for single note lines but I do sometimes get a bit of slipping playing Nile Rogers type stuff, where you have to keep a busy16th note pattern going for long periods. I have started wondering if something a little bigger would help prevent any movement. I know Nile uses quite a bendy pick but of course he hardly plays any singe-note lines - I think I'll always prefer a rigid pick.

Or go for the jazz 3 XLs. I’ve been using the tortex ones for a few years. They do Red nylon and ultra too.

I'll take 5

I've used Jazz IIIs for a good while now and haven't really looked back. The max grip ones are even better. It's funny how we spend x amount of money on guitars, amps and fx, yet the right plectrum is possibly the most important piece of kit.

Howdy, Stranger!
