daves strings

[jmoon242]

casue he wants his guitar to sound like the radio city album...

the first time i picked up specific strings it was cause i wanted my guitar to sound like l@lc

but u know better than me that strings dont make u sound like that specific live...u need a lot of stuff before strings to make it sound close to it...

oh but to dream is the key

Yeah and you don't want to keep the dreams inside your head cause there only there until........well you guys know the rest

Thats funny, cuz I used the Elix for a couple years and now I am hooked on the A'd coated. Personal Pref

[baseballjon9]

ya im not really down with elixir's. i dont like coated strings, so i normally stick with the d'addario EJ16's, they sound great. They obviously dont last sa long as coated strings, especially elixir's, but they only cost a little bit over $5, so even if u change them twice as many times as u would with coated strings, its better than spending around $13-$15 on a set of strings. But thats just me

I thought Dave used EXP's. If so, aren't they coated, so why would he have to use uncoated to take a step toward getting that sound?

[Paco]

he used to have the EXP15's on his SST's I believe, but nowadays he uses EXP17 and EJ16-strings.

He doesnt need for strings to last as long thats why he uses the Ddadrios (and obviously the sound quality). I think someone on these boards said that he has his strings changed every day or every other day.

[baseballjon9]

ya on a question and answer thing with the crew they said he primarily uses exp17's and he has new strings every night

[Blake]

i wouldnt like that. i think im the only one who doesnt like new strings on their guitar.
i think my axe sounds best when the strings are a few weeks old

[DrumsFoDaSoul]

I dont like the "twanginess" to brand new strings. But I like playing when mine are about 3-4 days old.
