fleabag

I should take note of this as my backline has just been reduced to a Trace 4x10 combo weighing about 1000kg

Also, found some NS Design Contemporaries ( D'adds ) on Amazon for £80 delivered. Last set they had so snapped 'em up

The top half looks just the same as above, so i screen shotted the bottom half, but i didnt get that streetsign thing. I just have to tick the box ' i'm not a robot '

I forgot Charic. They look eggs akly like Silvia's but if every code is unique, what i can do is go edit one of my sales and see if a captcha comes up, and grab the code

Aha I see the captchas are back when you edit a For Sale item. Made 2 edits and got 2 captchas

No captchas today so i guess the site considers me safe. You fools !

Indeed ! I've had an offer to try some used GHS crossovers - a kind offer of free strings from someone in the Netherlands Nice Also Mark Gollihur replied again, and informed me that the correct length of Spiros would be S42 and these would be 4/4 scale

Had a reply form Bob Gollihur and he advised Weichs if fitting Spiros Also, i have read in the archives from Philw and Stingray pete that 3/4 scale Spiros dont fit the NXT. I should buy 4/4 Spiros And the silks on mine are shorter

I might get the captcha tomorrow then - nice

I never thought about mediums being too high tension for my EUB. Maybe Weichs ( light ? ) would be the way to go It may be worth shooting Gollihur an email and ask him what he reckons on fitting Spiros on a EUB.

It never happened again Charic, so cannot screenshot it for you. All appears well on the western front now No mate - i dont use VPN

Thanks again Sub I'll check my strings again

Cheers Sub - i have already found T.I. spiros at Thomann in 3/4 scale

Cheers Marc. Pickup is Piezo only, no mags, so i assume it doesnt matter whether strings are metallic or non metallic ? I'm not a slapper As for Spiros, can i assume they are metal wound ?

Just had a look at the Innovation website Can only see SUPER SILVERS , which are under the Rockabilly section. Are these what you mean Marc ? There are strings under the Jazz section too, but no Silvers. The Honeys you mention are under the Jazz section though http://www.innovationstrings.com/products.html

I made 2 posts today and both times had to prove i wasnt a robot by ticking the captcha page. I'm logged in fine, and use Firefox. Never had this happen before - oooer ??

I love a tumbleweed pic. I posted in jest, natch Not heard of Innovation, Marc. I'm quite new to the EUB world. I'll make some checks on Innovations. No bowing for me either - pizz only ! I'll keep my eye on the market, but the EUB section is quite niche, and the chances of a set of Spiros ( or whatever ) coming up is probably a long shot, and i need to sell these Orchestras as well. It would be nice to do a trade, and both parties can save money, but waiting for that could be a long time. Might just have to stump up the coin and get some in PS i have no idea if standard DB strings fit. Perhaps someone more expereinced can verify. Do acoustic DB strings have a lot of sustain ?

Yup, gonna stick to those TPJ. Seems for sustain, this is what is most recommended

Thanks Gary - appreciate you looking, but i will pass on the unknowns. If i stick to well known brands and take advice from those who know much more than i do, i should only have to buy one set and make them last. Spiros are the most advised string by others, considering my criteria. Thomann sell them at £132 + £10 P+P. The cheapest Spiros i've seen ( just starting on the Jack Daniels )

Thanks Gary Yup, as i posted , someone elsewhere suggested a string change, and specifically Spiro Mediums, as i'm after much more sustain. The current strings are seated ok, the silk windings are also behaving, and as i stated, throwing the Pizz / Arco switch really sorted the uneven volume, so i dont see a prob with the piezo. The dead sustain still remained , however. Just gotta stump up the coin for a set of T.I Spiros. £144 - ouch ! I suppose i could sell the D'addario Orchestras, though i'm not sure who would buy. Most people seem to keep their strings, and at the prices, i dont blame them
