4 Love the Pic

This is my second Blur Chip pic. There is no comparable pic out there that I know of. The sound is perfect and the comfort is the main selling point. I can were it for hours with not pain. I was a bit disappointed in the lack of communication on the order. I heard nothing for a couple weeks. Even after I emailed and messaged for an order status. Finally I received a notice that it shipped. But the Pic is awesome and I will order again.

5 Awesome

Been a banjo player since 1994, have tried literally every kind of thumb pick there is and kept going back to the national large picks, when blue chip came out with a thumb pick to be honest I wasn’t impressed with their first try on a thumb pick and kinda upset that I paid that kind of price for a pick, but neighbor when they came out with this one and it had the legendary JD Crowe’s name tied to it I had to give it a try, and I’m glad I did. It is durable ( duh it’s metal), comfortable, light and finally I don’t have to hang three of them on my banjo hooks. The JD Crowe model is exactly what I’ve been looking for in a thumb pick for years and boy did the folks at Blue Chip deliver. I’m excited and expecting it to last for a long time….Hands down the best thumb pick I’ve ever used, kudos Blue Chip you’ve done well!!!

5 My new go to thumb pick
Posted by Kerry on 24th Aug 2025
Long lasting, well fitting, dynamic sounding and oh yes, expensive. I have used your thumb picks now for about 5 years and I'm on my second one. I won't let anyone use it and I'm not going to loose it.

2 Good when it was good.

I enjoyed using the thumbpick and even got pretty used to it on my finger, more so than with other picks. It played and sounded great until it snapped in half during a show after a few months of use. The company had me ship it back to them to replace the blade, and it broke again after a few months of getting it back with the new blade. They offered to replace the blade if I paid for shipping again, but I didn't think it was worth it. I am pretty disappointed. I had heard so many good things and was really looking forward to not having to replace my picks as much. I enjoyed the little time I had with this pick, and haven't had any problems with the regular flat pick.

Didn't accomplish my purpose. I sent them back and hopefully changes will accomplish my goal.

5 I now have the most perfectly fitted thumb pick
Posted by sonny on 6th Aug 2025
I have plastic, i have metal, an i have plastic with stainless metal slip on. They are all “ just ok”. They twist, they loosen, they turn, they gave me one more thing to think about while playing. In desperation, this one last time, i tried a “ blue pick”. It is, by far, the most perfectly comfortable fit and feel thumbpick i have ever owned. If you buy this pick, it will be the very last time you will ever use another….this thumbpick is a dandy!!!!!
