You're standing the way? Why?
@damongoldАй бұрын
i don’t get it, to spend $50 on a pick that you cannot test first and there are no returns?? I manufactured mixing consoles and i know CNC machining and the costs of patents (current company owns 15 international patents). at such an insane price, there needs to be a way to demo before you purchase or at least a 100 refund for return policy (the returns page does not exist on their website, hardly what you’d expect from an aerospace manufacturer) . i live 2 hours from the closest music store. this just seems like snake oil to me.
@Alex.PickhardАй бұрын
It is definitely a big decision and I get why you might be hesitant! It’s one of those things you just need to trust the reviews. I personally haven’t been able to go back to my other picks. I really like the sound of the Bluechip compared to others. But it is quite expensive. Cost me 70$ Canadian to the door. Pretty wild stuff.

I own the ct55 and loved it for mandolin, I recently got a 3 pack of dunlop primetone 1.4mm from a music store and was very surprised. They are very comparable too the ct55 and a pack of 3 is $7
@Alex.PickhardАй бұрын
I would agree. I started with the primetones as well before deciding to make the purchase of a Bluechip. I will say, there is a much warmer sound to the Bluechip. But for someone who might not be able to afford a Bluechip, the primetone would do just fine!

It’s taken me damn near 3 years just to learn this song - not even the solo, just the verse part! It’s probably one of the hardest songs one can learn. But I find the trick is getting the picking hand into a good rhythm, the fretting is where the real challenge comes in for me.

I've tried several Blue Chip shapes in different thicknesses. I've found the TPR45 is the one that gives me the tone I like, easy to hold, and the rounded edges allow me to slide the pick off the strings faster than a traditional teardrop pick. The Blue Chip is no doubt the real deal especially for bluegrass.
