V-Picks

[syo***]

I second Spud's Pearly Gates recommendation. Just got one a few weeks ago in medium pointy (large wasn't available) and I absolutely love this one. I really like most of Vinnie's picks but I always was a little bothered by the tick, tick, ticking sound that they produce. This one doesn't "tick" at all but has that great V-Pick feel. I'm going to buy a bunch of these to put in my stocking to surprise myself this Christmas!

Wow, I haven't seen the Pearly Gates picks until now. I too get distracted by the tick sounds or the clear V-picks.
I might get a few Pearly Gate Screamers.

Well, after playing with them a few days I've come to the conclusion that they are only slightly better than the various shaped clear or red V-picks. They are easier to grip, and the clicking is slightly less, but not a major difference. At least they won't get lost like the clear ones.

I've been really liking the Dunlop Ultex sharp 1.14 picks the last few months.

Tig, you are the man! These Dunlop picks are my favourite! I have one V-pick Snake that I picked up at a local guitar show. It is pretty nice but too noisy. So I am back to the Dunlops which I just love.

I like those. I got some when I whined to the GC guy that the tortex and celluloid ones wear out kind of quickly, and he pointed me to the Ultex. They last forever and are pretty nice picks. Mostly these days I just rock the blue tortex though -- they do the trick and there are plenty to go around when I can't find the Ultex.
