After the threads a while ago i re-started experimenting a bit with
picks again, especially since I was intrigued by Dave Wronski
mentioning he uses thin picks - dunlop gels light and linght/medium.
(actually, they are not that thin)
so, just for the hell of it, i also picked up a couple of dunlop
Ultexes, which have a very nice 'rough' vintage feel. indeed, they
sound very good (IMHO) - but, at yesterdays rehearsal, I broke TWO
while double-picking...
and then right this morning, I picked up a guitarplayer mag (june-
issue), it fell open at an ad page, and my eye catches a dunlop Ultex
add, saying they are 'practically wheightless and virtually
indestructable'. I broke TWO, brand new ones, for crying out loud.
they do sound nice tho.

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.

Just an idea - why don't you trim or sand the tip down to a sharper
point?
