It's also probable that if Bobby was acting all nuts about his string changes that there were some issues of running out or his crew picking up packs along the way.seanc wrote:This was @92. According to the tech it was being used on his neckthru modulus. According to him at that time it was all be was using. As he was going through so manny sets of strings and so few placed carried them he bought all he could where ever he found them.You would think Bob (or Bob's tech) would have bought cases of his favorite strings direct from the manufacturer or wholesaler.
The tech said depending on BWs mood he would get a new set for each sound check and at times then one before each set.
But what I really don't get is that when I change strings it takes an hour of playing and then they settle and shine! I don't get a swap after soundcheck unless it's maybe a nasty ass muggy day and the guitars were on stage too early and check took a half dozen sweaty songs for a couple hours to get it right.
