And the black-gold ones look similiar to Jazz 3's. Non-slip eh? I gotta try them cos pick tends to slip when I downpicking quickly.

Yep dude , few years ago I used to have the problem of getting used to a fresh picks ... Since I've realised that , I started changing picks before they get deeply worn.

Now I play with Dunlop's "Gator Grip" 2mm ... They're very non-slip , and they doesn't wear as quick as all other picks I've tried (I've tried many) , plus their very stiff and hard , gives me the "attack" tone I want.
Before that I played with D'andrea's Celluloids , then Dunlop's Tortex ... But both are slippy and wear easily , specialy the celluloids (but they've got very sweet tone for leads, similar to Big Stubby , but better).
