Hi there,
just saw on the Dean Markley webpage!
They don't list these strings anymore!
Do you guys know about this?
I'm actually not too concern, I like the Medium-Light set better...

By any chance did they tell you anything about a new gauge?

Endorsing artist: Genz Benz - Nordstrand - DR strings | | Join Date: May 2003 Location: Los Angeles/Redlands, CA | | | I'm curious, too.... it's odd that Will has changed.... he's always been proud about using/promoting those strings....
About the gauge:
Will 37, 47, 67, 87, 107, 127
Md 35, 48, 67, 84, 106, 127
They're so close, you would never tell... and BTW, I have phisically mesured them and I seriously doubt that DM manufactures different gauges like 47/48 106/107 and so on.... I personally think it's just marketing.... IMO

I mean, I have seen print ads of him for Radial saying "I'm never without my Bassbone...". When I saw him with the Fab Faux, where he switches between two different basses (and a logical situation to have and use it), he was without his Bassbone.

He's a bit of a ho. |
