I run a rackmount 31-band graphic EQ in my bass amp FX loop. You can get them pretty cheap used. Got this Tapco 2-channel 31-band for like $70. And this Eden Traveler WT-400 is great, with 3 semi-parametric mid bands and low & high bands. The rack parametric EQ is in the guitar amp FX loop...

The 120 was way too much, so I got a custom set from Newtone, 44 64 84 108 along with a 146T for the dropped A on my 5 string and it was like $66 after a foreign transaction fee. The tension was right but they didn't stay bright very long. Not worth double the cost and delivery time for the...

I know this is an old thread, but I saw that and had to check mine. I was sure they're the other way, and they are on this one. And the attack/release times are much longer than the backwards one shown in this post. Attack goes from .15ms - 150ms and release goes from 150ms - 3s. Both left to...

I don't think they are. Mine were more noisy in the bridge, but quieter than I expected from single coils because my rig is quite noisy overall because of the computer being the central hub of it all.

They're trash. They're clanky instead of sparkly like D'Addario strings. The guitar strings, at least. I've never used their bass strings. Got a .148 but haven't put it on yet. But I will never buy anything from that worthless pos ever again. People like that deserve to rot in a cold, dark place.

Priority Mail takes 2-3 days, not 2 weeks.

I'm not trying to get extra money. I'm just not gonna sit back and let some pos get away with robbery. If he ever does give my money back I'll give it back to PayPal. They shouldn't have to pay for his greed. All he has to do is file a missing package search and insurance claim but he won't do...

Didn't see any, but check it out. Maybe ask them if they can since they're custom made. Newtone Strings – British Handmade Guitar Strings

Newtone makes custom sets to the exact length of your instrument. Every possible gauge is available up to .20x. But they're in UK so there's a foreign transaction fee if you're anywhere else, on top of them being expensive because they're custom. The 5 string set I got was something like $65.

They have great options and make them to the exact length of your instrument. I got a set for a 4 string short scale (44 64 84 108, drop-D) and a .146T for the low A on my 5 string. They didn't have odd-numbered gauges when I ordered but I see they do now. They were really expensive. And there...

Glad to hear. People like this don't deserve our business.

You pay for Priority Mail and 12 days later it's still not in transit, you get a refund. USPS doesn't track returned packages. If he wanted return tracking he should have given me a return label instead of telling me to write 'return to sender'. If the package is unopened then return shipping...

I just got $26 stolen from me by Skip. I'm on Social Security disability, so that's a good half of the spending money I have for a month. Here's the story: I've been buying their strings consistently for about a year. Some of their odd-numbered gauges are the perfect tension for my needs and no...

I've been buying their strings consistently for about a year. Some of their odd-numbered gauges are the perfect tension for my needs and no one else has them. I ordered 2 sets of guitar strings for $26 (Priority Mail shipping) on 10/2. They gave me a tracking number on 10/4. On 10/10, tracking...

I was about to start this same thread and, not to my surprise, there are already several. So... I just got $26 stolen from me by Skip. I'm on Social Security disability, so that's a good half of the spending money I have for a month. Here's the story: I've been buying their strings...
