Beedster Posted January 21, 2008 Share Posted January 21, 2008 Hi all Got a new set of La Bella Deep Talkin' flates a couple of weeks back and the g-string is very zingy compared to the rest. I can't remember if this was the case with the last set I bought but they're so old now it's hard to tell. Is this zinngyness usual for LBDT strings or should I send them back?

markdavid Posted January 27, 2008 Share Posted January 27, 2008 I found this with my Labellas , the G string was very bright compared to the other strings , almost roundwound in comparison. I cured it by rubbing furniture wax into the string twice a day for a day or two , a pain but it solved the problem. The G string will calm down so dont worry Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wateroftyne Posted January 27, 2008 Share Posted January 27, 2008 Mine aren't noticeably zingy. Are they FLs? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ryan0583 Posted August 8, 2009 Share Posted August 8, 2009 (edited) This is odd...I've just got a set of Deep Talkin's. Never used them before and the g string seems very dull compared to the rest. All the other strings have a certain amount of clank, whereas the G sounds completely dead (kind of more like I expected flats to sound). Also, the G string looks different to the rest of the strings, in that you can't really see the windings on it. Will the rest of the strings calm down to all sound like the G?

I've certainly never found DTs to be clanky (although I guess it depends on action and tone settings) so I'd suggest you send them back, a string can be dulled down but not brightened up, and you shouldn't have to dull down three new strings Chris Edited August 17, 2009 by Beedster Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ryan0583 Posted August 21, 2009 Share Posted August 21, 2009 Been in contact with La Bella and they're going to send me a whole new set. Result! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
