    My tech threw my Elixirs in the bin and told me not to use them. Recommended D’addario XTs as the winding wire is coated before the string is wound, not after like Elixirs. 
    He looks after Keith Richards’ guitars so I’m inclined to listen to him! 
     
    I think the wrap is nickel but the coating is corrosion resistant so should protect you from it? 

    How do XTs compare to regular XLs?

    Mine arrived.  It's beautiful, plays nicely and it's pretty light.  

     

    Which means it neck dives, so needs to go back unfortunately.  I'm not going down that road again.  Should have known better than to buy without trying and b-stock at that.  Got caught up in the feeding frenzy I guess.

     

    Conflicted about exchanging it for another vintage white, which they still have available.

     

    EDIT: played nicely once I brought the action down, had very little relief.  The neck is amazing.  Not as slim front-to-back as my '82 Squier precision, so not exactly a re-issue but certainly one of the best necks I've held.

    My Precision is 8 1/2 lbs and neck dives. I purchased a strap from Pinegrove to counter this. The result? A nice bass and a nice strap.

    I would appreciate the collective's opinion on this...

     

    We are putting together a start-up country/Americana band. Great personnel, but so far, (2 mos) we have gone though a drummer (without one at the moment) and 2 guitarists. I have not picked up on any particularly toxic vibes from the BL, but often am too dense to pick up on stuff. Also, the two in charge have cancelled several scheduled rehearsals (day before or same day), which, honestly, bugs me more. I passed up Champion's League tickets tonight to attend a rehearsal that has been called off 6 hours before it was due to start. 

     

    So...thoughts? They are really talented, and we could have a great group, but......

     

    Thanks in advance...

    Give them one last chance before walking. 
     

    Tell the band leader that if another rehearsal is cancelled short notice then you will walk. Your time is valuable and the band is supposed to be professional.
