onemanband Posted January 16, 2014 Share Posted January 16, 2014 Hi, I'm trying to get my ES335-12string as close to as an acoustic sound as I can, and I think I'm pretty damn close!! DI'ing the guitar straight into the PA, using the Fishman Pro Platinum EQ/DI box (generally used for acoustic guitars) and the results are really sweet.............might not suit everyone; sound is VERY subjective............... but it's the sound I'm looking for! Any way, I thought I'd try a set of Rickenbacker "compressed" strings...............total waste of money!! After hearing so much hype about these strings, I was really looking forward to the result; but after re-stringing with them and persevering for a couple of hours, I despondently removed them, and re-strung with my normal nickel roundwounds..............back to that lovely jangly brightness.........oh joy !! The "compressed" strings seemed dull and lifeless by comparison, especially when fingerpicking and I certainly wouldn't recommend them................. but as I said........sound IS subjective !! Just thought I'd share this with you.........................Cheers.....Brian. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
