gary mac Posted October 29, 2012 Share Posted October 29, 2012 Put a new set of Highbeams on my old G&L a few weeks back prior to a run of gigs. Sounds awesome (to me). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I switched from DR Black Beauties because of repeated problems with the G going dead, I use Warwick EMPs now and I'm totally delighted with them. Nice one mate! Great playing.

xgsjx Posted October 31, 2012 Share Posted October 31, 2012 I used to use DR strings (the coloured ones). Nice bright, zingy tone for slapping. Decided I wanted a more bassy tone & replaced them with TI flats (which was fine for all the slapping I do). Nice playing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
