Antiquity...strings?

I can't wait for them to come up with a 15-80 set for Drop Z, LOL.

Let the butthurt flow through you young Jedi.

My philosophy is different strings for different things.

E std 10-46 or 10-48
Eb 11-50
​​D-C# std 12-52
C#-C std 13-64
B std 14-68
A std 15-70

I was kidding, my man. I play 12-59 in Drop C myself.

I was just f'ing around myself. Believe me I try to avoid seriousness at all costs.

If I ever do get all serious you'll know by the nasty sarcasm and contemptuous tone.

i wouldnt think pure nicklel strings are for you

Eh, I've got a bluesy touch to all my playing

(but no they are'nt. I want a bit more spank & sparkle). Although I do generally prefer dark tones (as opposed to dull ones...)

Pure nickel wound strings on a LP is definitely the vintage tone. I wouldn't call them "dull", but they are certainly warmer.

As the years have passed, so have my choice of strings. I used to love the 9-46 pure nickel, but soon changed to 10-52 for many years. Now I'm older and weaker and have found that I really like the EB 9.5-44 set. Plus I've gotten away from pure nickel because I really like a more bright, less warm tone. So far I'm extremely happy with this EB Primo set.
