Mr Bassman Posted December 1, 2011 Share Posted December 1, 2011 It's probably been covered before but I've just acquired a NXT and I need to find the best string for DB like sound without too much sustain, that will fit on the slim tuner pegs. I previously owned a CR4 and as far as I can remember the closest I got was Obligato but I know strings have moved on since then. I might have some Evah's which might do the job. Any suggestions guys & gals? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zero9 Posted December 2, 2011 Share Posted December 2, 2011 You could have a look at Bob Gollihur's site http://www.gollihurmusic.com/product_details.cfm?ProdID=2254 Always good for some background. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ficelles Posted December 4, 2011 Share Posted December 4, 2011 My CR had the D'Addario NS Traditional set on when I got it and I've seen no reason to change... I've been playing more arco recently and they seem to respond quite well. Difficult to avoid the EUB sustain thing without some electronic treatment though, has the NXT got a pizzi/acoustic simulation setting switch like the WAV? It wasn't the most convincing sound but maybe with a bit of tweaking... otherwise a good compressor set for a high ratio but allowing a lot of attack could work. In fact I'm going to be trying that very thing at this evening's gig with my newly-acquired T-Rex Squeezer ficelles Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
