Blue Chips are full and also bright, although actually I would rather say clear. To me, they just deliver what the sound of the guitar is. Once they get warm they are easy to hang on to, and they never get a rough edge that catches the string, the sound of which I really hate.
So long as you don't lose them, they're great. I have some that are 5+ years old, so I even think they are a bargain!

My jazztone 208s, ordered as a result of this thread, came today. Love em. Thanks, people.

I did a lot of experimenting with making picks at one point. I bought some vespel rod, which is what Blue chip picks are made of. I bought some ultra high molecular weight polyethelyne, and some Taugua nuts, made some casein, and a bunch of other stuff.
My conclusion is that overwhelmingly, the most important thing for tone is the bevel and polish. Even more important than the shape.
I have a ton of different picks and they all sound different and tend to be better for some things vs others. I have a couple blue chips and don't like them very much and some of those jazztones and they didn't do it for me.. The one I come back to most often are purple Dunlop tortext, D'Andrea ProPlek, and 2mm Dunlop "flow."
