A question for all you Spector users out there. I am thinking of trying some different strings on my NS 2. I am currently using DR Low Riders 45, 65, 85, 105. What brand of strings is everyone else using? I was thinking of trying the new Ernie Ball Cobalts. Any thoughts?

I use d'Addario coated Nickles on all mine. Seem to last quite a while, along with sounding great.

I really like Blue Steels! On my tuned down to "C" 435's, I've tried GHS Boomers and Cobalts so far.

The Cobalts are cool. Bright like the Blue Steels but not exactly in the same way. They have a high tension that lends well to tuning down. I used a standard set on my NS4 (45-105) for a gig tuned Eb and they were great.

The Boomers were great in the studio though, new Cobalts on my other 435 were a tad bright recording wise.

with a photo of me when I was a baby.

I am pretty sure Photoshop was not used in this photo. :D ;)

Bunk got me hooked on CircleKs. The Cobalts have a good sound to them as well.
