Re: What flavor Bluechip should I try?
Rather than popcorn, I suggest munching on blue corn tortilla chips. Fits better with the theme.
I'll just jump in ahead of a few folks and say rounded picks do not work for me, regardless of make or material. I vastly prefer a point. If for some unfathomable reason you want to use a rounded contact area for some effect mid-song, you can rotate most pointed picks to get that shape from the soulder. Otherwise, I just don't get the point of that sort of pick. Seems pointless.
BTW, I do have a BC 50 triangular - there's no lettering, like TAD or TP or CT - just "50." I'm guessing it's got a few years on it, as the "BlueChip" lettering runs straight across, not arched as in the pix on the website. I have no idea how I got it; it must have been in the variety of picks in the pocket of a case when I got a mandolin. I don't use it much, as it always feels like it'll fly away when I get really going. It sits on the nightstand, for home picking. I've been using the same Dunlop 1.5mm for years, and like the little bit of texture, big help on the grip.
But that's just my opinion. I could be wrong. - Dennis Miller
