As a loyal Jazz III Black Stiffo and Red Nylon player for 20 years, I'd still occasionally dabble with other shapes & materials, and have accumulated quite a collection of Dunlop picks. These Ultex XL's put an end to that pretty darn quick.I've always loved the Jazz III feel, stiffness, and tone, but as a player with larger hands, they always felt just a bit too small. These are perfectly sized. A tad larger than the Petrucci Jazz III's but not as large as a standard-sized Ultex pointed.The raised logo provides a superior grip to the Eric Johnson picks. Not as grippy as the Max Grip Carbon Fiber picks, but the added size and feel of the Ultex material makes up for it.I personally think that these are the best sounding Jazz III picks. You don't get that hard, "chirpy" choking-the-string sound like you would with Petrucci Jazz III's or the Ultex 2.0's, but you do get some of the smoothness of the EJ's, with more punch and harmonic content. For a stiff pick, these are surprisingly great for pick slides, too!You don't have to be a total Jazz III nerd like me, but if you're somebody who's serious about tone and technique, definitely try these picks.

I bought these cause I heard my favorite guitarist (Hal-Ca) used them. They are really good picks! Thick and stiff with some play and the pointed tip helps with pinch harmonics. Nice and grippy too.

really like these as there closer to a normal size pick compared to a little bitty jaz3. For my accuracy playing this are now my go to! Nice and stiff, but done spin on me like a little one. The textured lettering also helps add a bit of friction to keep from spinning.

The best bright tone pick I've ever tried and my main go to for this purpose. They wear very well and never flash like nylon. The sharp Jazz 3 tip gives it the precision I like. I prefer the XL size as the regular Jazz 3 still feels small to me. The 1.38mm is adequate since the Ultex material is extremely stiff. I think the pack of 6 is a very good value as they last so long. I can't fault anything on these and will buy them again.For a warmer, softer pick tone, my favorite is the Tortex Jazz 3 XL 1.5mm ..just note that they don't have the same raised texturing and feel slipperier in the hand. I drilled 2 3/16" holes in mine to prevent them from turning in my hand...yes I'm picky!

If you like the Jazz IIIs but want a stiffer pick these might be perfect for you. They have raised lettering that helps keep a solid grip while playing. I just wish they were a bit pointier but still really nice picks. Another good thing is they last longer than standard Jazz IIIs.

these picks are awsome. i used to use the red and black jazz 3s but i always went back to my 1.14 ultex standerd shape picks. i found the jazz 3s awsome for picking but at he same time a little bit too small. then i saw the extra large ultex primtone jazz 3s and ordered right away. then i saw these bad boys abd a steal of a deal. i said if i like these i wont ever have to buy a new picks again. they came in before the primetons and honestly i love these picks. just like the standered ultex but sharper for faster picking and shred styles and trust me it is easier for me to pick fasr with these. hey using a new pick isnt going to tur. you into marry friedman but it sure helps a lot with how comfertable you are and the way the picks slide over strings and the amount of pressure and release is given when a string is it. and ive found these the best so far. far better then my dragon heart pick. will posr a review on the primetones when they come in but these are awsome and 24 for ten bucks . who can have such quality besides jim dunlop. love his mxr pedals and picks and will be a dunlop user and fan for life. here a pic so u can tell the size cuz i had no clue how big they wouod be. if u love jazz 3s but want a normal size pick. u cant go wrong fellas.

Had a variety pack I bouth a brick-and-mortar shop, and were drawn to these due to the guage. I tried many picks in my short bass playing lifetime, and these were the ONLY ones that felt comfitable, gave enought flex and give on my strings (D'Dad EXL160 & EXL160S), strong enough for my bands heavier songs, had enough grip for me if I had to re-posistion mid song (Max Grips were TOO much grip...aptly named ironiclly!), and were not over the top huge like those Fender "Dorito chip" picks I an old bandmate used to use in 97 (oddly I use these on acoustic occasionally).Recieved and tried a couple out with my usual Dunlop Big Stubby 2.0 on my basses. Fastest pick I could get my hands on that changed my playing...great dynamics for what I need, and everything I've listed above. So good I bought 2 more bags to give me the 72 I really wanted (GET ON THIS DUNLOP....72 is the magic number here!)If you're not a finger picker (I'm getting better), give em a shot....These are now my go to gig and have replaced the following picks in my pick bowl (and it's quite a list, if I do say so myself):1.5 Max Grips (rehearsal/studio back-ups)2.0 Big Stubby (Now my on stage back-ups)1.5 Delrin Prime Grips (I keep em just in case)Fender 355 pick HardFender Fender 346 Hard and Mediums.

Fra tutti i plettri che ho provato, mi sembrano i migliori. Le scritte in rilievo danno un buon grip ed il materiale scivola bene sulle corde permettendo di fare senza esitazioni passaggi veloci. Unico neo, con quel colorino semitrasparente ne perdo un bel po’

J'ai essayé des tas de médiators (ou plectres) .Je n'ai jamais réussi à me poser en me disant : "je garde ceux là".J'ai même tester les plectres de riki le plectrier (qui sont super bien ... Mais vachement trop cher.)Au final, je suis revenu là dessus.Quand il est mort je le jette, j'en prend un autre et ça me convient très bien comme ça.Ils sont dur, ils tiennent bien en main, ne s'usent pas trop vite.pour moi c'est nikel.Ce qui ne veut pas dire que je ne vais pas en tester d'autres. mais si t'hésite avec ceux là, prend les , test et avise ensuite.

I've used dunlop tortex picks for many years, generally the green ones (.88mm) or the blue ones (1.0mm). A couple of years back I switched to the tortex flow shape, prior to that it was the standard shape. Although I quite liked the tortex picks, I was never 100% happy with grip, and after reading a review of these I decided to give them a try.Previously I'd used different picks depending upon instrument, green on electric and acoustic guitar and blue on bass (rarely) and mandolin (equally rarely). These Ultex Jazz III XL are just perfect, the grip is brilliant, and they just glide over the strings. I'm using them on guitar, bass and today tried them on my mandolin which I haven't played for ages, and after a comparison with the blue tortex decided they were better on that too. On guitar they work equally well for both chords and single notes.I believe I've found the perfect pick. The one and only negative is if I drop one on the wood flooring at home, it's pretty well camouflaged and I have a hell of a job finding it. The green tortex were much easier to find, so if there was a different colour option I'd take it, but other than that I'm very happy.

Empecé a utilizar estas púas para reemplazar las Dunlop Tortex de 1.14 mm () que utilizaba anteriormente por su mejor durabilidad y se han vuelto mis favoritas.Su forma es muy cómoda y ofrece buen agarre gracias a las letras en relieve. La mayor superficie de la serie XL mejora el agarre y hace más difícil que se escurra. En cuanto al diseño, la púa es de color amarillento traslúcido, lo cual puede dificultar encontrarla si se cae.Me han resultado especialmente cómodas para tocar géneros más agresivos como rock y metal, porque su dureza permite tocar fuerte sin que se desgasten rápidamente, y la punta característica de las púas de la serie Jazz es idónea para tocar solos.

I had been using Dunlop Gator Grip picks (1.14mm) which were pretty much perfect for me in terms of size, flexibility, and tone, for bass guitar. The only thing I didn't like about them was that they would shred/get worn out so quickly (& the "gator grip" while a slight improvement, was still not the best.) Then I tried these, Dunlop Ultex Jazz III XL (EXTRA LARGE, important detail), and WOW! Life-changing. The pick is a tiny bit bigger, with a little more of the tip, which is great, less chance of hitting your fingers. They are a bit thicker than the 1.14mm Gator Grip, being 1.38mm, but because of the material, they still have a decent amount of flex (not a lot, but that is what I like.) I have never used an easier to play with pick! It's effortless, and so forgiving if you don't hit the strings just right, the tone still sounds good. It's like the perfect blend of grip & slip (on the strings.) And the TONE! it's almost like playing with your fingers (which is what I usually do), that warm beefiness, but with more attack and definition. Just beautiful tone. Also, the raised writing on the pick is in the perfect spot and just the right amount, provides all the grip my fingers need. And so far, basically no visible sign of wear, been using the same pick for a very long time, & i play pretty hard. I'm absolutely amazed.
