I have a blue chip some of the new v picks and I find I keep goin back to my Wegen! I also like playin with a teardrop style pick somewhere between medium and heavy kinda like the sound of a pick that bends a little at times. Could be any brand too some just sound good randomly. Back in the day they didn't have all the new tech and sometimes an old fender pick sounds great to me.
What's a "speed" bevel?
I simply bought a bunch of Dawgs after trying one years ago, and so haven't bothered with anything else (I don't play much mando). Prior to that I liked the GG, but after acquiring a Dawg--I could never use a GG again. Big difference. My back-up (if I can find it) is Jazz mando. The pro plec looks good, but I've never had the opportunity or compulsion to try it. I'm sure there are several which I would find suitable
for the other plectrum instruments--I've used so many
As far as I can see I'm only the second here to sing the praises of the Wegen Dipper, though in my case 1mm. I love it for cittern, and though I've been settled on Ultex 1.14 for mandolin AND guitar for a long time, I'm finding my way with the Dipper for guitar too. Still prefer the Ultex for mandolin, until I drop the thing on a bare wooden dancefloor........
I recently started using the Dawg II pick. It seems to bring out the tone a little better than others I've used.
you know what is strange, I started a blue chip pick thread a while ago because I was and still am very impressed by the tone and feel, but, I am using my Wegen M 150 almost exclusively for practice sessions anymore, just feels right in my hand? tone is not quite as good but hey? I keep choosing it for some reason.

I have used Blue Chips (and am going to try the SR series), but really like Red Bears, Dawgs and Pro-Plecs the best.
