I'm a string junkie. About to give a local Nashville string maker (Stringjoy) a try as well as an Italian brand (Galli Strings)



Lord have mercy!

I’ve tried Stringjoy a few times, both acoustic guitar PB and B and also their RW bass strings.

Being a support your local business guy, I want to tell you the bass strings are great. I’ll just leave it at that, because you may like them, especially if you’re a rounds player. I am not, so factor that in. They are by no means bad, though, at all.

Their acoustic strings were pretty much par for the course, which isn’t necessarily a bad thing.

It’s the price. Are they worth it at the current asking price? I really appreciate small, independent makers of everything (especially beer and strings), so the way I see it I’m helping to spur on something I appreciate, which may be worth the extra $5-$10.

Looked like Stuart Spector in there. Maybe he took that day off of fishing.

I hope you start your own Namm thread as usual. :hyper::hyper::hyper:

It's great to get two threads for the price of one! :D

scubaduba checks the bass porn boxes quite good so far

That's cool, so you can concentrate on food-, drinks-, chicks-, and party- pics :laugh:

have a nice Sunday!!!

Dogal is supposed to have a presence at NAMM this year. If you haven't tried the Jaco flats you ought to!
Click to expand...
I never knew Dogal existed until yesterday, so it’s interesting you mention this. I like traditional flats, La Bella being number one, but sometimes I want more bite like what the old Fender flats used to have (I’ve got some three decade old Studio Bass flats I found NOS on a Gibson SG right now that make me wonder why Fender went with the new 9050s....). So I see these Dogal flatwounds now that have me interested. I’m wondering if they will be what I’m looking for, aside from finding NOS Fender flats.

Someone made a mistake in a hurry when setting it up and they did not have time to fix it. Perhaps they even noticed and decided there's nothing that can be done at this point...

They could have run across the street to Sav-On and gotten some big, fat, red and black Sharpies.............. ;)

Glad that I now know you don’t like them.

Not really aimed at you, just commenting on the product. Many people would like to see a NR T-bird like bass in the loop, just wish they went a little further. Mike Lull did a nice job with his T-bird like bass.

Any companies come out with new powered cabs? Been thinking lately it would be very nice to always have my pedalboard setup for running direct but also have the ability to add a cab without also having to bring a head or power amp. I know tech 21 makes a 200w powered 12 but I’d need two or three of those for volume and with the controls on top I’m not sure how stackable they are. A powered 212 or 410 would be interesting.

I know at least 3 of the metro expresses at the booth are coming back to a local store near me and I can’t wait to see how they compare to my metro express. Does anyone know where the new Warwick made metro expresses are being made?

According to the announcement video, the express line will be made in the Warwick/China facility. All others will be made in Germany.

Thanks for the heads up. I hope I like the Stringjoy strings because I get them overnight without having to pay for overnight shipping since they are local to me. Sadly, I called them and asked if I could pick up at their office and they say they do mail order only, no ability to sell to walk in customers. That sucks since they are only a few miles from my office.

So far my favorite round is D’Addario NYXL. Favorite flat is GHS Precison Flat or Laballa Low Tension.

On my Dingwall I typically use Dingwall strings although extra long D’Addarios fit....barely!
