You act like it has a brutal ammount of tension in B. Its the same ammount of tension as a .036 in A.

The underside of your nutsuck must sound sick then, I use a .056 on my Rico and it sounds brutal beyond comprehension

Metal Ken · 09-18-2007, 04:34 PM

I'll mic up my sack for ya later, and we'll see

Probably sounds pretty floppy at pitch though ;p

I use a .56, too, and it's not floppy - and we're down 1/2 step. I've been playing Dave's Soloist with the .70, too, and it didn't really make *that* much difference - and it's not like I'm a pansy about hitting things.

I use a .58(I think) and I tune down to A.

It's not floppy at all.

Dave's using a 70 now? Nice.

I was able to hear a pretty big difference between that and the .056 as far as 'oomph' goes.

.068 actually. For me, it makes the difference between no effective change and having to compensate when I move from the E to the B. I used to knock the B sharp all the time when I used a .056.

.56...that's more than half an inch thick.

Nah, just a 68, because it balances best with the rest of the set.
