Hello mates...
Another Baritone Warpig test flight...
Rumbling in A on the Vorpal Blade...Instrumental rhythm-thing called "Unwound"...
please forgive the lame click track,
tried to keep things nice and simple...
One track , and a pot of strong coffee, hehehe...
I'm digging my 'Pig...nothing but good things to say about my BK...
- thanks for giving it a spin-
hope you like!

Sounds like there was plenty of sugar in that coffee as well.
What kind of strings (or steel cables) do you use?

Howdy-
I tune to Baritone A below standard E-
gets loose as hell without making adjustments...
I'm gauged at .056,.052,.046,.036,.026,& .017-one plain string, the rest are wound. The tension & pluck factor are there, essential because in spite of my tuning, I prefer a 25" scale length (like prs/martin)...
I've tried 27/28" Baritone scales, and choose the short scale for reach, and the "eyes off" factor- i'm used to 25.
I've also fit Bari strings to my SG at one point - The Bass was .070-massive, but it starts turning into bass tone, and the edge went out the window, so now I use what would be to E strings in a row for my LowA & D...works for me...
I've been using strings by a Danish Net butik called
www.stringsite.com
-They make their own strings, they rock, and unlike everything else in DK,they are fair priced-
You can order bulk sets for a discount on the already reasonable prices,
or order single strings in bulk, and make your own sets-
this is what I do for my workshop-
I'm not interested in stocking a library of strings , because I don't have walk-in customers.I'm just the guitar guy- not a music store.
I usually ask people when they bring me work to bring their own particular brand of strings, or I use my bulk sets.
- and I make dangerously strong coffee, too.Just thinking about it is shuffling the contents of my innards-I like to put a little of it into my glass full of sugar.-I like my coffee crunchy, like my METAL.
hehehe-Drac

For Yer Information...
- That string site is in Danish-they are working on an English language option, but for the time bli'r det nødt at snakke, og forstå Dansk!-(speak and understand Danish, right!?)
-If anyone is looking for a good price on bulk strings, I would gladly sit in as an interpreter, and crunch numbers exchange rates,and prepare you to do it yourself from then on...-for absolutely no charge whatsoever, save for the warm fuzzy feeling and the karma credit...
-Last Time I bought here, I got the equivalent of 24 sets of strings in custom singles for 360 kroner, or approximately 32UK pund !-
-Gotta go play music now, but think it over, and ask yer mates to poolup a fat order, & it can be well worth it...
-ps: the strings are NOT made in DK- they are from the States, and I think they're just fine...Drac
