big bob Posted November 6, 2008 Posted November 6, 2008 caution this place is gas inducing.. congrats on the new toy..
peterbright Posted November 6, 2008 Author Posted November 6, 2008 I think I was born with GAS & it's gotten progressively worse ever since.
brentrocks Posted November 6, 2008 Posted November 6, 2008 i know where that one came from :wink: Congrats!!!!
SouthpawGuy Posted November 6, 2008 Posted November 6, 2008 Hi Peter. First: congrats on the 535, It looks very familiar, I can't quite place where I've seen it before. Second: You need to leave here fast. If you already have GAS you are doomed. I'm up to four Heritages now in a year. My GAS for more is painful :-X. Don't say you weren't warned. > > > BTW ... Welcome to the HOC.
peterbright Posted November 6, 2008 Author Posted November 6, 2008 I'm a 100% flats person on my basses. How many are using flats on a 535 & what are your experiences?
brentrocks Posted November 6, 2008 Posted November 6, 2008 I'm a 100% flats person on my basses. How many are using flats on a 535 & what are your experiences? are your typical electric strings, (ernie ball, GHS) roundwounds? i dont think i have ever tried flatwounds?
peterbright Posted November 7, 2008 Author Posted November 7, 2008 I'm looking for a different sound. I usually use Snakeoil brand strings on my electrics.
OldCrow Posted November 7, 2008 Posted November 7, 2008 I used to use ribbon wound strings on my Carvin, I dig them but they are DARK sounding strings, almost like they're dead but have a nice round tone to them. I used D'addarios 13s and am about to drop a set on my Epi Sheraton
peterbright Posted November 7, 2008 Author Posted November 7, 2008 Which Carvin do you have them on? Have you played an SH550 yet?
OldCrow Posted November 7, 2008 Posted November 7, 2008 It was a DC127 that guitar is long gone, I never got along with their necks, they're always way too thin for me. I have not played a SH550 sorry.
peterbright Posted November 7, 2008 Author Posted November 7, 2008 I have a DC127M & I can handle the neck all right. It is very thin.
OldCrow Posted November 7, 2008 Posted November 7, 2008 Yeah, I'm an anomaly, I love huge baseball bat necks hah.
peterbright Posted November 7, 2008 Author Posted November 7, 2008 Have you tried a Martin D-18A? Those necks are huge to me.
OldCrow Posted November 7, 2008 Posted November 7, 2008 I have not, honestly, being a lefty I don't get to try many higher end acoustics, it's disappointing.
