Ditto. Give me youth AND wisdom, or no deal.

I posted this on a different Primetone pick thread but thought that folks over here might be interested, so cutting and pasting:
I have many different thicknesses and shapes of Dunlop Ultex picks. While I agree they are excellent picks, they don't appear to be the same material as the Dunlop Primetone triangle, and they don't sound the same to my ears. There are, however, a couple of Dunlop Primetone picks that are made out the exact same material, and with raised surfaces for gripping, yet thinner. These are the Primetone “Animals As Leaders” picks. Though they are not large triangle shaped, they are similar in all other respects and have a gauge of .73mm. I love them.

I WILL tell you something interesting, though. I discovered recently that the tonal qualities of a pick material are altered by doing nothing more but adding a coloring agent to change the cosmetics of the pick. True story. The same material, the same formulation, the same extrusion method -- add a different color and the pick sounds different. So, who knows, maybe it's just the dye they use. scott memmer |

The mystery of the translucent raised grip vs opaque smooth face Primetone picks continues....

No PrimeTone large triangles in anything less than 1.4!!!
Next best PrimeTone for someone who prefers .96/1.1, in larger triangle? |

I finally caved and bought the Primetone 1mm in the "standard shape". I think I might actually like them better than the large triangles, which is ironic since I played standard shape Fender mediums for 30 years! |

I am so excited I can hardly contain myself. I went to look for more no-grip Primetones in standard shape and found these babies hanging by themselves.
(The shop I went to was out of non-grip in any shape) Primetone Jazz III Didn't even know these came in Jazz III's (unless this is new for 2018)
