Re: Heavy gauge strings on the Railboard?
Hi Gents.
Markuzz , I'm definitely a fan of the meaty sound of heavy strings. 12 is appealing but the closer string spacing has always been a concern for me. Still, I bet it will be amazing when it comes out.
lminor7, hey mart. Going from7 up to 8-9 string is definitely a step "up" in timbre towards a less dense bass sound, but I've always been happy with that. For me it's 5-6 strings I'm concerned with regarding medium strings. I've recently acquired my dream rig which is a Bose L1 mark 2 with B2 sub and tone match mixer, so absolutely no lack of bass, or anything there. Sorry, showing off , I know.
As far as your own needs are with bass, I'm not sure with whether a SB 8, esp in railboard, might be a solution. I'm not that clear on SB 8 string gauges, the website has it laid out and you could easily get a comparison. You should really check out dual bass reciprocal as a string set up, that's outstanding in the low end. You got me thinking about that again..
Do you think I'm on the money regarding strings verses your amp set up? Anyone else had experience with this?
