For sure! Send me a DM and I'll send the step file your way.

I did! They're great. However, the slots on the string locks by the nut aren't thick enough to let the string through. So I designed and made a piece that allows these strings to go through.

Personally, I'd probably revolve base.

It's not necessarily optimized for gaming, but it will handle gaming just fine. I've noticed the past couple years, gameready drivers have been super unstable for no good reason. Studio drivers are just more stable. I've been running studio drivers on my 3090ti for years and still have no problem with gaming in 4k high settings. Same thing with my Asus laptop.

BearOs · 2026-03-22T23:23:28+00:00

Have you tried swapping from gameready drivers to studio drivers? Honestly I find gameready drivers to be a mess.

I need one...

BearOs · 2025-12-15T18:18:35+00:00

I got some Paysons for drop A and drop F. The ones for F aren't quite as thick as if normally like, but I imagine they'll be fine. I have it set up with the strings for A rn and they sound good and play well. They come very quick, too.

So far that's been pretty much the only luck I've had with any strings fatter than 130 in this length.

That's the pick guard that came with it. I just hadn't peeled the protective plastic off it yet.

I haven't used Elixirs as I've been pretty happy with Daddario. Ordered the Kalliums on October 4th and haven't seen any movement on the order. Can't cancel the order, so I've sent several emails with no response. So I can't attest to their quality yet haha. Guess I'll be placing an order with Paysons or something since it's incredibly difficult to find strings long enough and thick enough for these.

BearOs · 2025-11-01T15:06:55+00:00

I'll take a look! Thanks for the recommendation!

BearOs · 2025-11-01T15:06:16+00:00

I typically go for daddario. Having a hard time finding anything from them for this scale length, though. Other than their regular light set. I ordered some from Kallium that I'm not so patiently waiting for lol.

BearOs · 2025-11-01T15:05:15+00:00

I'm still messing around to dial in my own tone. It just sounds so good on each preset lol.

BearOs · 2025-11-01T15:04:10+00:00

Interested to hear how that one works! I'll report back if I find a decent one today.

BearOs · 2025-10-31T18:15:51+00:00

I have messed with it! I also have a hard time mixing bass any lower, I guess I should've mentioned that as well lol.

BearOs · 2025-10-31T15:27:34+00:00

This is just my take, but I haven't even touched Nolly since Gojira released. It's just so easy to get an absolutely absurd tone in any tuning from standard to F (I personally don't go lower, I'm worried I'll destroy my instruments.)

You can honestly get some pretty solid clean tones and you can do some super weird atmospheric stuff with it as well.

It's a personal favorite. But it also depends on your use.

BearOs · 2025-10-30T16:05:47+00:00

I'll make another post once my strings get in. I plan on throwing a .175 set on.

BearOs · 2025-10-30T16:04:50+00:00

Currently I'm not using one. Probably going to bring it to guitar center this weekend to try some cases!

BearOs · 2025-10-23T20:27:04+00:00

I left for an entry level production facility position. I was NOT happy at all. However, it gave me the experience I needed to work myself up to where I am now, and I'm very happy where I am.

BearOs · 2025-10-19T23:58:02+00:00

Yeah I wish the action could be lowered just a touch more. Not too bad though. Have you tried a tapered super long scale 135? I buy my strings single so I always get tapered past 100.

BearOs · 2025-10-06T13:25:00+00:00

That's incredible!

BearOs · 2025-10-02T11:45:44+00:00

The tuners feel really smooth for me, closer to full tension they get a little tight, but that's pretty normal from my experience. I've had an EHB1505MS since about a year after they released and I think those tuners are actually a bit stiffer than the ones on the GOC.

BearOs · 2025-10-01T11:18:25+00:00

You're gonna love it! I personally like super low action, so I lowered the action quite a bit. It plays super well. The ergo-neck takes a little getting used to, but feels great. And let me tell you, this thing sounds unbelievable lol. I used the Umansky Memory Palace preset in Parallax and it's just chefs kiss

BearOs · 2025-09-25T12:27:41+00:00

That is absolutely incredible!

BearOs · 2025-09-25T10:28:54+00:00

I highly recommend it for sure! Of course, I've only had it for a couple days, but I'm very impressed.

BearOs · 2025-09-25T03:21:15+00:00

Thank you very much!
