Yeah maybe thats that thing - I'm playing mostly alone, and trying to sound like James Taylor or Neil Young, so to my mind I'm shooting for something warm, percussive, quite folky really.
Horses for courses and all that.
Cool pics, @Misterg, you've been Wowed.
I change my strings before every single gig, and am even happier to continue doing so since I tried those crappy, overpriced things. The reason they don't seem to deteriorate is because they already sound three months old.
I'm sure if one of my regular engineers heard me playing with Elixirs he'd ask me what was wrong.
Being serious though, it is down to personal preference, and different music styles and gear choices make a huge difference, it's just that most of the stuff I get paid to do requires a bit of "zing".
Well quite. For me it's not even an option- I can have a week of string-life for £5, or 6 months for £10 and setup my guitars to sound great. And they do sound great.
Yes, but they still sound like they're 3 months old a year later!
