Using Rotosound 66's Again

Man....I didn't realize how much I missed these strings!

Most of you know that I don't have massive amounts of capital these days, and I know that many of You are in the same boat. But I finally had had enough of trying to make cheap strings work, so I bit the bullet, and got me a set of Rotosound 66's.

Jeesh....I had forgotten just how much I LOVE these strings!!! The tone, the feel, the tuning stability....shoot....I sound like a commercial for cotton!

"The look....the feel....of Roto's"

I had been running on whatever cheap strings I could find for a good year before I started using my good old blue steels again. I've found that good strings are a good investment, they always feel better, sound better, and a lot of them seem to last longer.

Runnin out the door to practice, wantef to make sure I had loosies, just in case ... Whaddaya know ... brand new pack of 66's!

Cha-ching!

Hard to say without experimenting, but our friend John Gallagher of Raven uses really light strings on his custom red Explorer, and he has little to no problems.

I tried them once, too big a jump for me. I just ended up gorilla gripping them so they sounded pretty bad with me behind them. I remember John Gallagher mentioning that he gets a lot of range out of his similarly light strings though so like anything else it really depends on the player.

And actually, John Gallagher uses really light strings. I can't remember the gauge, but they aren't too much larger than guitar strings. This was extremely apparent when Linda and I hung out with Raven in Seattle two years ago, and John handed me his Explorer to try out. His brother Mark said "they're like rubber bands!"
