Last year, I started a new quest for the perfect pick. Or something like this. With my first batch, the winners were a mix of Dunlop Jazz III and Dunlop Ultex Sharp. With the second batch, the winners were (surprise) the Dunlop Ultex Jazz III, which combined the size and form factor of the Jazz III, with the robustness of the Ultex, and (even more suprisingly, somehow), the Planet Waves Black Ice. But soon the latter lost its crown, because I only had medium gauge picks of this kind while I, not long after that, got ride of “light” (9-42) strings in favor of regular (10-46) on (almost) all my instruments, and those picks were a bit too thin with this setting.

So, I recently had the opportunity to get heavy gauge Black Ice picks and I thought they would be the clear winners, except for one thing: V-Picks. (more…)
