Do these strings even exist?

Sign in to disble this ad
Need some new strings tomorrow, and I'm thinking about changing it up a bit.

I've been using medium guage DR High Beams for a few years now. I just replaced the stock bridge on my Fender J with a Gotoh high mass design. It really increased my tone and sustain, and made every little nuance of my sound clearer.

I've had to change my amp and eq settings...cut highs a little more. I like a bright tone that cuts through the mix, but also a thick, full sounding low end. I have that, but with a little more string noise and metallic sound than I'd like.

I was thinking about maybe going to flats and seeing what I can do on my amp to counteract the lack of brightness, but I think it'll be more than I want. Any suggestions for strings that fit that bill?

Thanks!
