D & G string woes

[Pan]

Hey guys 

 

I have a Gibson thunderbird . Orange terror 500 amp and the OBC115 orange cab , the problem i have is the D and G string sound crap , tinny and lost , i have the roto sound roundwounds 45-105 quite new , i am quite new to playing but i have no idea what to do , the E and A string sound awesome then the D and G are total opposites

 

Thanks for any help

Possibly you need a good set up and your pickups adjusted.
you can do this quite easily yourself with information from you tube without doing damage, just be careful if you get into the truss rod adjustments don’t force it.

A good set up, plus maybe look at either 45-100 or 50-105 gauge strings maybe. I find that these gauges suit me much better for the same reasons.

Reckon you're on the money there Mr Bunion sir. A good setup solves many woes

Raise the pickups on that side. They are thinner and have a lower output as a result.

Raising the pickups just on that side, and maybe lowering them on the E and A side should help balance them out.

Also consider getting a compressor.

Dolce & Gabbana strings? I thought they were a fashion brand.

And possibly drop the bass side slightly as well.
