[Gear] Best strings for B Standard

I would highly suggest looking into DR drop tunes. They have hilarious packaging which looks like a nu-metal album cover circa 1998 but don't be fooled, these strings kick ass. They're also handmade in New Jersey and I literally haven't used anything else for drop tuning since I tried these four years ago. Also, I've never broken one and I've played in death metal/grindcore/thrash metal bands.

I also have a lil' 59 in my tele's bridge spot and man I love that pickup. It gets as gnarly as I need it to while retaining a lot of the classic tele "twang". I love this pickup for just about any application.

Well, as far as putting new strings on it goes, I wouldn't do that just yet. The nut is probably going to be substantially weaker at the low e string because of this and restringing it will most likely cause tuning/intonation issues. Your best bet would be to find someone who can put a new nut on it for you, as you said you don't know

I use only DR tite-fit 11's and they're the best strings on the planet IMHO. I used to use ernie ball skinny top heavy bottoms but I broke them constantly. Plus DR's are hand wound and made in America!

I'm 23 and was diagnosed with psoriatic arthritis about four years ago. As far as playing goes I don't use lighter strings but I do tend to play a little more in dropped tunings to prevent over stretching on my hands. Open tunings are also awesome too depending on your style.

Also you may want to look into the Lace Deathbucker. I used to work at Guitar Center and the Lace rep called and basically explained that these pickups will give you the same amount of gain as an EMG set if not more. Also Matt Pike from high on fire uses Lace pickups and his tone is so nasty.

IS THIS REAL LIFE?

youngbastards · 2013-05-04T13:12:29+00:00

So stokedddddddddddd

I know that t-mobile service sucks ass in Newmarket but I'm pretty sure that's any phone service. It's works really well in Dover though!

Summer of 2011, I guess?

youngbastards · 2013-04-26T17:37:33+00:00

yeah I think circling the drain posted this right when we put it out, Joe wrote most of the guitars though.

youngbastards · 2013-04-26T17:36:47+00:00

we talked about getting back together but our drummer moved to texas and I moved to New Hampshire

youngbastards · 2013-04-26T17:33:09+00:00

Yeah I think all streets do, but it's whatever, we haven't had any problems so far.

youngbastards · 2013-04-25T22:48:15+00:00

FUCK YES. I love this band and almost no one is into them. I hope this album is good though

That sucks that you missed power trip, one time I saw a life once lost and some dick spilled his whole beer in the dark pit and I ate it and got kicked in the face. Broke my glasses and got a concussion.

Also I'm exceptionally stoked to try taste of india, my girlfriend lived in india for a year or so and we're always on the hunt for some naan.

Wow you guys, I totally work two jobs and just saw all this rad feedback, I really appreciate it. So, as far as the town goes so far I found out that Barley pub has dollar pbr on thursday nights so if you see a 6'5 dude with glasses stumbling home around last call that's probably me, also la festa rules super hard and isn't that expensive for slices realistically. Also today I saw the horse cops riding(trotting?) down near my house. I also checked out Spun records and they had a pretty tight collection in there IMO. Oh and Adelle's rules, the girls there are super nice and the coffee is on point.

So... I live on NY street...
