Re: Dunlop Ultex picks

Jacob Dobner (jacobdobner) - 22 Jul 2005 13:52:58

I use the same Gels as Dave. Like you said they are not that light but
to other they probably seem that way. The Gels sound amazing and I
just tell the difference in tone right away between those and Tortex
picks. With that said I use the Tortex picks more often. I feel more
comfortable with them. The gels feel more likely to slip off the
string and I think the tip may have something to do with it. It is
more round.
