hey all,
I'm in desparate need of new strings, as my current ones are getting rusty. I am looking for really bright strings that bring out the mids and highs, to compensate for my not very bright pups.
I dont want to break the bank, but im open for possibilities. |

| | Registered User | | Join Date: Apr 2005 Location: CT, USA | | I've heard great things about the DRs as mentioned above. If the DRs are a bit out of your budget, I've also found Dean Markley Blue Steels and SR2000s to have a nice brightness (not too harsh), and they hold their brightness for quite a while. |
