beerdragon Posted September 2, 2007 Posted September 2, 2007 What strings do you put on that ahpook. make/guage. Quote
ahpook Posted September 2, 2007 Author Posted September 2, 2007 i ue the d'addagio xl 156, which are .24 - .84. i tried the fender set, which are slightly heavier, but i found it almost impossible to intonate the bass. Quote
OutToPlayJazz Posted September 3, 2007 Posted September 3, 2007 I always fancied one of those "baritone" VI's. Pity the reissue is so bloody expensive! It's recently been quietly dropped from the Fender website as well. Is it nice to play? I'd imagine that it's pick playing only with the strings so close together! Quote
