HemeolaMan -> dominic and string theory (Dec. 7 2007 7:47:17)

personally, string theory for me, is a complex issue. it involves alot of real personal biases and opinions. also theres the theological aspects. for example, i really like my luthier sets. but the basses just go real fast and they don't get a good classical tone. it makes it hard to play stuff for school and do flamenco my hannabachs just die. bam. sound great for two days, then they crap out. and they are inconsistent with intonation. labella...... right. wouldnt know which ones to buy lol. plus, i think black trebles are... silly looking ??? savarez... the non rectified ones are crsip and dry, but the basses make me unhappy. the trebs are close to where i'd like to be... unless i got a few freak sets. i wish i had some inkling of what to do next. those are the four major brands i know of that make an acceptable flamenco string.... however, and i feel highly conflicted about this, i have been using these d'addario composite sets... they have a very round top end, but the g is an interesting cofffee colored material. it has a very delightfully dusty bone-dry tone that just says "you can play this string open and it will sound good" the basses are okay, they age well, actually they sound better after about a day and a half. here is my string theory: they all suck. we will never be happy with just buying a set and throwing them on as is. even getting close to satisfaction is going to cost in excess of 20 dollars and thats likely to involve multiple sets, or llarge bulk orders of single strings. when we do find a combination that works, we will order large numbers of it, and find that the factory they are made in has changed since you last bought a set, and the new product is crap. thus you will have 30 sets of useless ilifeless strings. WHAT DO WE DOO????????? i'm soooo lookign for a good combination for my negra. what do you guys do? maybe even start a thread in the audio section so we can hear the combos... that'd be a real treat!
