Thanks for your video. It helped me choose the 80:20 for the brightness . Just ordered an 8 pack from strings and beyond.

[@GuitarBasement]

Glad it was helpful. Yes the brightness does cut through.

Thanks for watching!

[@chief18bigmix]

Thanks for the info. More power :)

[@GuitarBasement]

I can use more power...thanks!

Thanks - the outtro - that's a great sound! Was that related to this guitar / string set? AFA this compare - the phosphors favor the guitar I think - not by a whole lot. 9 vs 8/10' or something like that spread. The outtro - 10/10

[@GuitarBasement]

I thought the Phosphor Bronze would be the best before I started, which is why I left them for last. The thing is, I was surprised at how much the 80/20's could be used to cut through a mix if I had other instruments. Playing wise, the phosphors seem to give a little more feedback to the player. But are you referring to the outro outro - my channel theme? That was actually my nylon string Yamaha.

[@DivineMisterAdVentures]

@@GuitarBasement I don't ensemble much - and for a mix you get to play with whatever frequencies you want. Just ordered the 12-56 Elixers for that. Yeah the outro sounds seriously great. Do a compare!

[@direwolf6234]

would have been helpful to say what gauge strings you were using .. had to go back and stop it to see

[@khanhnguyenz6258]

thanks

[@GuitarBasement]

You're welcome!

Phospher sounds so much nicer to my ear

[@101elad]

I really liked the phosphor bronze, they sounded fat and full despite the fact that I love a bright sound

[@GuitarBasement]

Right. With my guitar being a mahogany body it's already quite bright, so I think the phosphor bronze adds a little depth.

[@colauty2598]

I honestly liked both, in my humble opinion, its which suits the style of song, 80/20s appear a tad louder to me, obviously cos they're bright, difficult, but my styles more country upbeat, so 80/20s mmmm just 😊

[@forenoh2444]

Whats the first riff

[@GuitarBasement]

It the intro to Dust in the Wind by Kansas

[@tonystrignert]

I am allergic to nickel, so I want to find some nickelfree strings

[@GuitarBasement]

That's too bad. I didn't know that was a thing. A quick search gave me this link that you may find interesting. I have no affiliation. www.stringsdirect.co.uk/blogs/blog/working-around-a-nickel-allergy
