Does anybody on this forum prefer a pick that is not a bluechip?

[Beanzy]

I use both the BC CT55 and the Wegen T140 but prefer the Wegen for most styles I play, except bluegrass where the BC gets used.

I make my own from various materials, as I mainly prefer the elongated Roman style plectrum, from 1.5 to 2.5mm thick at the center, but tapered down toward the edges. I've made them from celluloid, ultem and ivory. I'd also love to find a sheet of whatever ProPlecs are made of, as I like the dark sound of that material. Bought a Blue Chip once, but it just didn't have the "it" factor for me. Too much emphasis on the treble for my liking.

I prefer the free picks endors give out at NAMM.

My favourite at the moment is a Dunlop Gator Grip 2mm - nice deep tone!

[Dave Hanson]

I use Dunlop Ultex 1.00 and 1.14 but re-shaped like the Dawg.

Wegen with self drilled holes.

[John Flynn]

My choice would be a Starpic, made from pieces of the 4 billion-year-old Gibeon meteorite. They are $4,600 apiece (I'm not kidding), but I can't afford one.



So I settle for genuine Mother-of-toilet-seat picks!

[AlanN]

Harley Allen's old pick.

[rsgars]

Wegen and V-Pick are my picks of choice . . . At least as of this morning they were.

[mandroid]

got a dozen Dawg picks 20 years ago , still have most of them, in use
Fender 346 , the Wankel triangle, the alternate..

Herco that wrap around my thumb.. I don't Drop those, playing..

[Vernon Hughes]

regular old fender extra heavy and a real tort sometimes.

[minuteman]

Got a coffee cup full of every kind I've ever found but I always end up back with the D'Andrea 358 Heavy.

[Troutbum]

Wegen bluegrass and TF-140. My wallet doesn't like the B.C.

[Dave Hanson]

If there was anywhere here in the UK that stocked Bluechip picks I would certainly give them a looking at.

I bought a blue chip, liked the way it stuck to my finger.. didnt care for the tone so much. Went back to a certain unmentionable organic material I had been using. Recently discovered the d'andrea Pro Plec.. love em, very close in sound and shape to my favorite pick! Wont be buying another BC, the good thing is its not hard to get your money back out of em if you dont like em.

[Steve G]

ProPlec or shell. Tried Blue Chip and it was too bright

[Pete Summers]

Horn. I like the "darker" tone and easy grip.

[tmsweeney]

I also like the Clayton Horn and Camel ( or cow I guess) bone ( about $4 each)

the camel bone can be a little bright and scratchy - but I like it for mandola
the horn is darker - warmer tone - I prefer that for mandolin and octave mandolin

[JeffD]

The Wegen I use is the T140 which I see here is more popular than I thought.

[Alyx Hanson]

About six months ago I discovered Brossard picks. The horn ones are great (and I've used the ebony and bone ones on my octave with similarly pleasant results). I especially like the Solos: the hole helps with my grip. (NFI, just happy.)

[mandroid]

Just have not been $35.00 worth of curious about how much one pick can make my right hand work better.

the IRS, & ODR hoovered out enough money this month, i need that $35 for pints to sooth the wound.
