hello,
it's been quite some time I test gut substitution and I just discovered les cordes Lambert, it's unbelievable I feel like a set of plain gut mounted on my bass, same tension, I think those frenchies have solved the A & E tension problem, big volume, same touch and color and really cheap for this quality, 60$ shipping include. http://www.myspace.com/cordeslambert http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LlPm9PI7qxs

They feel they've done something more than make another cheap gut substitute. They've done their reserach, and worked hard.
They believe they've improved on the weaknesses of plain gut E and A without compromising on tension / click tone / balance (that comes with hybrid / wrapped E/A strings) ... tone, sustain, tension all an improvement on plain gut.
And improved on other nylon whackers, matching thickness, look and feel of plain gut.
If that's true, these will be very special strings.
Other whackers are like gut, only not quite as good.
These may be like gut, only better!
I'll find out soon.

I know that guts are supposed to be good for every playing style, but I don't have the money for a good set of guts, but for $60, if I could get a string that does everything that guts do, and sound that good, I'm sold. |
