1L and 1M reviewed. Both enjoyable and kept!
Posted by Keith R. on 22nd Feb 2022
A well-engineered comfortable pick. It's obvious a lot of care is taken right down to the beveling which creates a buttery smooth feel. The 1L band runs large and that's a good thing based on their easy shapabiilty as well as reversion. The tone is dark, conversely, the BCT-1M is more open and brighter. Mainly, I attribute this to the difference in blade mass. The 1L's blade length shines well in single string style banjo. Whereas the 1M facilitates Scruggs style playing. I ordered and kept both models.
Customer service went out of their way to accommodate my needs. Thank you!

No more plastic thumb picks for me!
Posted by Jim W. on 5th Feb 2022
After hearing the difference in sound between my various plastic thumb picks and my new Blue Chip (BCT-1L). I cannot see why anyone would continue using plastic thumb picks. No more pick noise. No more pinching.

actually went with JD Crowe.. the best!
Posted by Brandon Smith on 24th May 2021
The large was nice and a beautiful fit, but the blade was a tad long for me. Support was great and they gladly exchanged a jd Crowe pick. It has ended my quest to find a thumb pick I enjoy playing with. I *love* using my jd Crowe thumbpick!!! Feels great, perfect fit, exact rich blade length and angle.

Great pic
Posted by Mel Cockerham on 7th May 2021
This pic is a little pricey compared to other thumb pics however I think the benefits outweigh the cost this pic stays on my thumb it doesn’t move it’s very light weight it sounds good and it looks like it’s going to be very durable I hope for this pic to last for a long time that remains to be seen but from other people that I’ve talk to I think this is the investment to make if you’re a serious banjo picker

A little let down
Posted by David Minarik Sr on 9th Jan 2021
I purchased the thumb pick because I really didn't care for the plastic models. The bluechip is nice looking. I ordered a large and it didn't fit. I called bluechip and got instructions on how to adjust it. Proceeding cautiously, I made an adjustment and got it to fit my thumb, but I find it hard to keep it from falling off. I didn't want to adjust it too much, as I was advised that it would break. I'm back to the plastic Dunlop.

Gold fit and tone long blade
Posted by Anton Heinrichs on 11th Nov 2020
I've just started using a thumb pick as I am normally just a finger picker on a nylon or steel string guitar. I got the large thumb pick as I measure out at the threshold between medium and large and it fits very well. No slippage or twisting! The blade length seems a bit long for me, as I'm use to having my thumb close to the strings. It may just need an adjustment period, but I'm going to look for a thumb pick with a shorter blade to try out as well. Overall I would recommend the Blue Chip thumb pick.

Unbelievable
Posted by Chuck Wasserburg on 26th Oct 2020
Both picks I bought make me feel . . . er . . . better connected to my instrument. You could spend a lot on a fine amplifier, or $40 on a pick. These things are the shit.
