Members solderjunkie Posted January 18, 2008 Members Share Posted January 18, 2008 God, I hate rainbows... you're just standing there, minding your own business. Then they come marching in, and start crawling up your leg and biting the inside of your ass...BTW... I prefer Slinkys. The little brass ends look like cool hippie love-beads Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members belief bone Posted January 18, 2008 Members Share Posted January 18, 2008 wearing a velvet shirt as opposed to a cotton/polyester blend allows the guitar's vibration to transfer easier to your body and this makes the sound much better Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members larry50 Posted January 18, 2008 Members Share Posted January 18, 2008 Yes, because without them, you would have no guitar tone. Just a bunch of loose strings. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Funderbunk Posted January 18, 2008 Members Share Posted January 18, 2008 Yes, because without them, you would have no guitar tone. Just a bunch of loose strings. Unless you use a Floyd, and cut them off anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members MahaloVision Posted January 18, 2008 Members Share Posted January 18, 2008 Yes, they do, but the real secret to great guitar string ball end tone was passed on to me by a female acquaintance who used her charm and guile with the assistant to the Guitar Tech of a very prominent guitarist with notoriously bad teeth to get the info. She said that the ball ends on his guitars were filled with liquid helium and the open ends were plugged with platinum. She went on to say that she hadn't actually felt his ball ends to see if they were cold, but that "they certainly looked that way." If you listen again to those albums on vinyl and a good set of headphones, the difference is obvious. Now all my guitars have helium-filled balls. The tone can only be described as almost "superconducting". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members HanSolo Posted January 18, 2008 Members Share Posted January 18, 2008 Fender Super Bullets. They make the sound shoot right out of my amp! Honestly, it seems like I get more sustain from my strat with them. I know, it's probably because they are new strings replacing old but they do seem livelier than strings with ball ends on my Strat.
