22w G string? WTF?

ibznorange · 04-13-2008, 02:05 AM

fwiw, an 18w gstring has like 1/3 less tension than an 18 plain string

I really like these .10-.56 Ernie Balls I have on my Loomis... I tried .10-.52 with a .70 B, but I didn't like the tone I was getting. However, on the mahogany Hellraiser I had I did like the tone the .70 gave.

I'm starting to think the different wood combinations have a different sweet spot for tone as far as string gauges go. But I'm kind of a nube so I dunno.

I see your 65.

And I raise you a 74.

I too want your greendot.

65, 74... Pfft. Try a 183, tuned to the B below the B on a 5-string bass. It's great, like 16Hz or so. You can't even hear it until you get up to like the 4th fret. The only trouble is you need a special attachment to the tuner for such a fat string:

Not quite.

.018w tuned to G3 had 16.1 lbs.

.018p tuned to G3 has 18.6 lbs.

It's about a 15% difference.

FYI a .022w tuned to G3 has 23.7 lbs

All numbers are from D'Addario's data and one a 25.5" scale length guitar.

I use 10-56 + 72 on my 1527 in standard tuning.

ibznorange · 04-13-2008, 03:26 PM

huh. when i used the string calculator site, im got like a 22w and 18p to be almost the same

whatever, im probably gonna end up throwing a 76 if i can find one on the s7 at 28.625" for G#. thats like using a 76 for Bb at 25.5"

Yeah, I know, but it is more of shock about it being a wound string. I gotta have a plain G for solos. That is a go to string for bends.
