BlueChip Picks

AmundLauritzen

I wonder what the magical material is, to justify insane prices like that...

I don't know what they are made of, but Jay (aka Jazzaferri) insists they are amazing, and has agreed to mail one to me to try. This is going to be a tough sell, since they make really thin picks, and I like fat ones (4mm and up), but I am trying to keep an open mind. I'll have my say when one arrives. Jay even warned me to always wash my hands before using, because they supposedly can get pretty slippery with a bit of oil/sweat on the fingers. Guys that try them seem to love them, though, so I am most curious to try one.

Amund, I think they are made from the horns of Unicorn fetuses, or something equally rare and magical.

:?: Hi Guys

How well does the SR 60 work for strictly rhythm playing? I strive for the Hono Winerstein/Titi Bamberger sound. currently using Wegen standard gypsy 3.5mm.
Thanks,jeff

Jazzaferri

the blue chip is a quiet and fast pick. the sound you get from it is in your wrist.

Howdy,
I am quite interested in one of these picks, but I had some questions.
Is the surface of the pick smooth/slippery or is it kind of a tacky/gummy feel?
Does it slip in your fingers or anything like that?
Thank you!

The bluechip pick has a smooth surface but in my experience once I start to play and after 20 minutes or so it gets tacky and it stays in one place.

My experience is they are good unless they get oily then they are as slippery as a....wet pumpkin seed

Prople with oily skin or eating Natchos betwen sets would be best using a wee bit of violin roesin or guitar elephant snot to lock it in place and keep fingers from tensing up.

I have been playing blue chip for 7 years now. The latest design that I got from them has been played for about 1000 hoursvand still no sign of wear.
