alritey! took me long enough but i finally ordered `em labella super steps, fixed them up, adjusted everything and sat down to play around with my new strings. SWEET TONE.
MAJOR DRAWBACK: There's an unwanted tone on every string except the 1st. further 'testing' revealed that its because for the 2nd-6th string, their core rests on the saddle (i think i got the terms correct) and this causes a tone equivalent to the 16th fret of each string. its heard very, very loudly when any note above the 12th fret is played. the 1st string is safe because it isnt tapered or anything. i've used other strings and this is the first time i've seen the core of the B string on the ball end.
QUESTION: did i just buy a "wrong set of strings" or is there a solution (obvious as it may be, i dont know ANY solution right now, other than BUY OTHER STRINGS) to this problem??? this set has awesome tension (low tension, thats what i always look for) and no matter how ironic it sounds, it has good tone.
lets hope someone can save me.
