Old Rake Win Spear

Post by M.Bison »

I've been enjoying using Winspear picks lately. Specifically the Shuriken and Shiv/Mini-Shiv shapes. Thought I would try a bunch of different shapes and materials for next order. Noticed our old Old Rake has a signature pick with Winspear now, so picked up a few.

Cool picks. Check em out. Yet to try the strings.

The really fat thick one is ridiculous ha. Because they taper down to a point they don't FEEL as thick as they are, but really hit the strings hard. That giant broadsword is too big for me to use realistically, but I quite enjoy collecting and experimenting with the different shapes and materials. Really high quality stuff.

Oops, I'm telling a lie. The giant one is an 8mm Battle Axe. The Broadsword is the Dunlop Sharp kinda shaped one on the end left.

The ultex material is great too! Maybe even nicer than the regular nylon ones.

I've gone from Jazz III's too lads, my go to is the normal red ones and the newer John Petrucci J3's, which I think are made of ultex with a polished tip. The Shiv type Winspears will probably be your cuppa teas shape wise; material to taste.

Winspear's materials, whatever they are, are really nice feeling and sounding. Whatever the Stealth series are made of really does rub off on your hands and strings with like a black coal kind of dust, but it sounds great and feels really quite grippy and tactile, that one is my current favourite.

I'm not shilling these, just impressed with the quality and like to share lesser known small companies :santa:

Coincidentally to my comment of shilling, Winspear just posted a 15% off all Stealth picks for the next 24hrs :greenie:

A fellating lover of mine also released his own through another company.
They light up in the dark too. Really clever when doing shows on dark stages. Made by Iron Age.

i've been using the tortex 1.14mm for so long it's just kind of an instinctual thing, never really thought to try anything else
