Ernie Ball Aluminium Bronze Acoustic Strings.


Introducing the newest addition to the Ernie Ball lineup- the Aluminium Bronze Acoustic strings. These great new strings are a redesign of the classic Ernie Ball Slinky and feature more prominent low and high frequencies with added projection in comparison to a standard Slinky set. Another added benefit of using the Aluminium Bronze set is the blend of copper and aluminium wire is more resistant to sweat, acids and other string contaminants, meaning as a player you get more life out of each set.

Being used to the Ernie Ball Regular Slinky set I decided to restring a few familiar guitars (a Gretsch Jim Dandy Parlor and a Taylor 320e) with the Aluminium Bronze in the same gauge. I found them to have a quick break in time, excellent tuning stability and while on the Gretsh they were a little harsh out of the pack, after a few sessions of playing they warmed up nicely. They Taylor performed beautifully with the Aluminium Bronze strings and had some added low end frequencies with the highs still ringing through nicely. Overall these strings are well balanced and definitely worth a try on your favorite acoustic.

Fender Starcaster Bass






Introducing the Fender Modern Player Starcaster bass! This innovative semi hollow design was debuted by Fender in the mid 1970's and, since original versions are becoming harder to find, this is the first reissue of the type. This model features a nod to Fender's previous bass designs with an offset body, but that's were the similarities stop! Electronically the Starcaster was a complete step forward with a three way toggle switch controlling the dual, wide-range humbucking pickups. To further fine tune the tone of the instrument, each pickup has its own tone and volume control, allowing the player to get the perfect blend of neck and bridge pickups, to darken up the bridge position, or to introduce some treble frequencies to the neck pickup. These sounds are hammered out on the all maple bolt on neck, and as a short scale bass the Starcaster offers comfort and playability to suit a wide variety of players. The Starcaster's headstock was another obvious change from earlier models, with its sleek, new shape contrasted by the beveled lower side of the headstock.
