hey hunter give us an update on V picks
« on: August 20, 2009, 08:07:56 PM »
I got stuck in a guitar related youtube binge and rediscovered V picks, just found a place that sells them in the UK

I think I'm gunna try some, hunter are you still using them? how long do they last and how stiff are they?

Roo: these could be a good replacement for your stubby triangles if they last and you've still not adjusted to the durex triangles ;)

I couldn't find, does any of them have that bevel at the center to hold it better, like the Jim Dunlop stubby??
What is it made of? Acrylic?

I never used them, I just posted about them and was asking opinions, like you :O)

At the moment I play Green Dunlop Tortex, but I hate them already LOL

Gotta go back to Ultex JazzIII or maybe try these wonderpicks...

I'm sticking with Ibanez Paul Gilbert picks - love the shape - slightly smaller than usual with a slightly more pointed tip

ultex jazz IIIs are too small, move around in my hand too much because I'm so used to holding bigger picks so I'm back on the 2mm big stubby picks

I'll order some V picks when I ain't broke and give a widdle report if anyone wants one, this forum is more obsessed tone though ;)

Jonathan: I'm sure I read somewhere that Paul Gilbert is using red Tortex 0.50 picks now, I have no control with the damn things
