Dave's New Picks

Unread post by CloudY2J » Sun Jul 24, 2005 2:19 pm

I noticed Dave has been using new picks this year: they're grey with a different design on them, not the old Dunlop Tortex ones he used to use. Anyone have any idea what kind they are? I took some pictures of them with my cell phone at the last show I went to, but I doubt they came out well enough to tell. Anyone else have any idea?

If so theyre not new, hes been using them for a while, Ive got a pack of them myself.

I prefer these though:

the .60mm Acoustic Ultex are the ones I like.

They could be the thicker Dunlop ones, possibly. They were new to me, I'd never seen him use them prior to this tour. Its probably those though. What kind of Tortex ones are those? I've never seen that color before.

Thanks. I posted on The Bridge for a long time, and post on Ufck occassionally. :)

Any answer as to exactly what kind of picks those are though? The Dunlop ones you showed. Tortex standard ones don't come in grey, at least not to my knowledge.

Well, good to know what they were anyway. I've always used the .50mm, the others are too thick for me, but I'm always looking for new picks to try out, so maybe I'll check out those Ultex ones you recommended.
