Hey all..

Has anyone tried these yet? I saw a clip about it on youtube and am intrigued.

I love mine. I switch between them and the original jazz iii

They are a hybrid of a Jazz 3 and a normal sized pick. Takes some getting used to if you are transitioning from a Jazz 3 as its bigger but it retains the pointed end and has a good gripping surface on it. I hated them initially but now they are all I play. Thats what happens when you get a big bag and you don't want to throw that kind of money down the drain. Adapt and overcome.

They are fantastic picks. The way they're designed is especially nice since there is very little resistance when picking. I always find myself going to these over the regular Jazz IIIs that I've been using for the longest time. It's the perfect compromise in between being too large and too small. Fits perfectly and stays firm in between the fingers with having to readjust a lot less during long playing sessions. In other words, it's designed perfectly to where you can just focus on what you're playing with good technique with not having to worry in the slightest about the tool you're using to get the notes to sound exactly the way you want.

If you need further reason to buy them, consider the fact you'll be playing with a friggin' shark tooth (looks just like one!) Great stuff imo.

Sounds good..I have the I and the II, never tried the III and this seems like a good variation of it. If anyone knows where they can be sourced from in Budapest let me know.

I found them to be too small. Nice tone though.

Thanks for the link fbecir..bit pricey for a pick I'll look around for jazz IIIs..apparently there's a max grip carbon fibre version that's supposed to be the bomb.. In the end they're all just based on the III with minor variations.

I like the material it's made of and I've used it somewhat. It still might be a tad too small for my tastes even though it's better than the Jazz III size for me.

The price is for 6 picks.
Jazz III are a bit cheaper :

Or perhaps it's time to try the fiber carbon :

One good thing with smaller picks is that you could easily palm it into your hand for fingerpicking.

I didn't realise they were a six pack..the carbon fibre ones are especially good value; unfortunately the shipment fee to Hungary is 20 euro!!! I'll look around Budapest and failing I'll be in Munich in November, hopefully I'll find some there.

Hmmm,happy to hear that I'm not the only one-Jazz III XL are fine for me.

Regular fender medium is what I like, if it aint broke, dont fix it, no but seriously Id try them, Im always trying new things. Even cables make a huge difference.

I tried them briefly but preferred the tone and size of the regular Jazz IIIs. Perhaps I'll try them again in the future.
