The nice thing about Blue Chip is that you can try it and if you don't like the tone, you can send it back for a refund within 30 days. No other pick maker does that, as far as I know. The Blue Chip has a tremendous grip and silky smooth feel on the strings. The Wegen TF140 would also be a good choice as others have mentioned. I find the the standard Wegen, with it's heavy bevel a little too bright for my tastes, so I experimented with a custom ordered TF-180 (1.8mm) with no bevel and I love it. They are very durable and will last a very long time. The Dunlop Ultex triangular 1.14 mm is also a good choice, although I don't like it as much as BC or Wegen for tone or wear.
