New D'Addario string sets

angryman · 04-29-2006, 07:43 AM

Hey guys i just went to my local shop to buy some more sets of strings & i nomally use the D'Addario .10 -.56 set & have done for a while but it seems they no longer make that set as the retailer I use was told this & the new shipment from D'Addario was sets that were .10 -.59 ! I've measured the .59 against my .56 to make sure it's not a print error & it's definitely a thicker string.

This isn't a problem as i was thinking of going to a .58 anyway but do any of you know anything about this?

I hope they are still making the 9 thru 54, 7 string sets.

Perhaps they realised that 54 doesn't have enough tension for the Low B. Anything from 59 upwards is just right

angryman · 04-29-2006, 02:23 PM

yeah they still do the .54 set just changed the .56 to a .59

Yep, looks like they did go with 59. The specs show this change, but it doesn't say it on the packaging yet.

Cool with me though. Since I drop my 56 down to A, I could stand a bit more tension.

Yeah cheers dude & like i said i was thinkin of going to a .58 anyway but i would've had to have changed from D'Addario to Ernie Ball which i didn't wanna do so i'm happy

thats great just htinking about ordering more strings and i want a tad more tension, excelent!!!! *widdle widdle*

zimbloth · 04-29-2006, 04:55 PM

59 is cool... for B standard 10-56 is fine, but that extra thickness should help for guys who tune to Bb like me.

bostjan · 04-29-2006, 07:41 PM

Cool!

.059" > .056" anyway.
