Looking for lighter gauge flats...

Nyarlathotep · #1 04-05-2008, 08:56 AM

anyone know of any flats that are lighter gauge than the chromes i have now?

The low B is a 132 and i kinda want to try a 125 if i could....

My other strings are 45, 65, 80, and 100, and i'd like to keep em that way, or lighter, if possible...

TI jazz flats would fit the bill.

TI's have a .136 B, but still should have less tension, if thats what your after.

Naw, im after a thinner string, but i dont really wanna go with rounds. I like the midrange sound of the flats i got now, and the fact that they got/get better with age. Any of the rounds ive tried die after a weak, and become really hollow sounding after about a month.

And flats keep their tune better ime.

Except for the B you can get cromes in lighter gauges.

They're about to launch a new website, so they haven't got them listed yet.

Email them, they do have them, I bought some last week.
