D'Andrea Pro Plek 351.
I've got completely out of Jazz3 pick land the last year, to the point that I kind of despise them. I started playing Fender Heavies and quite liked them compared to the jazz iii's. However I decided to try some other celluiod picks. So I got some of the Planet Wave ones....terrible, the fender's are way better. I also got the D'Andrea standard Celluloid which seem to be exactly like the Fender Heavies, which I like.
But these Pro Plek ones are quite a bit different. They've very "soft" sounding actually. They also kind of fight you on the release of the string, but there is no crappy "clicky" sound I hate about the jazz 3 and other material picks. These picks almost sound like my fingers. They also feel really good to me. Part of my problem with celluloid picks before were that they slipped out of my hands, these sort of have grippiness to them.
I am not sure anyone here will like them, but from a sound perspective these are my favorite picks I've tried....ten million times better than the V-Picks were to me (they chirp for some reason when I play them). I also don't really like very "slick" picks. I always have liked the feel of picking when I sort of have to work for it, like you do when you use really heavy gauge strings (like 13s and 14s).
Anyways...for what it's worth... I'm quite happy with these...I hope I don't lose them all, haha.

Also, the sound difference between these and other picks I've used is remarkable, they take away a lot of that trebly attack, which I don't really like.
