paddy109 Posted July 15, 2013 Share Posted July 15, 2013 Hi has anyone used these strings? Could you tell me what's good and bad about them and whether they would bow (there is only one song in our set list that is bowed). I am looking for a string to pluck, slap and bow. Anyone got a set hanging around? I played 3 gigs this w'end on Obligatos and my fingers fancy trying something with less tension! Paddy.

Rabbie Posted July 16, 2013 Share Posted July 16, 2013 (edited) I currently use the A and E and really love them for all of your purposes (but I do hardly any bowing). Don't know about the D and G. Edited July 16, 2013 by Rabbie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rabbie Posted July 18, 2013 Share Posted July 18, 2013 May I add, the setup calls for high action and stamina if you you want to be heard acoustically. Even with the amp, the tone is in the fingers of course. If you prefer low action I wouldn't bother: too floppy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paddy109 Posted July 19, 2013 Author Share Posted July 19, 2013 Thank you - would prefer lower action so perhaps my choice string. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
