Restringing, anything new in materials

[burniegoeasily]

Its time to restring and put on a new bus. Ive always used D and Y 450+ combined with B 500. Is there any new materials people are using?

Ibought a spool of BCY8125 for my string guy - he made me a nice new set withit - seems pretty nice. BCY also sells an 8125 "thin," which is a shade faster. I like it - lots of color choices and I've never had any stretch/movement issues at all.

The Winner's Choice strings are an 8125 base.

There is also 452X.This is much thinner than 450, but is also a low creep string.

Another good point for 452X is that it fuzzes less than 450.

I forgot to mention 8125, ive got that on another one of my compounds. I think im switching to 452x in place of 450+. I just got through reading about 452X and I like the low fuzzthing. 450+ has always gotten fuzzy on me. I really wish I hadnt sold my string jig and micro stretcher. I thought id just buy new strings when I need them, and am now in the mood to make one. Oh well.


thanks for the responses.

Just got in some 452x and do like it. Went ahead and got another jig and started building my new string and cable.

Thanks.

There is a new serving materialon the market called "Halo" from all reports it is way better than the current serving material.

As yet I have not tried it out but I am waiting on a new string and cables from gibblet which I have asked that he put the Halo serving on so I can test it.

I finished up my string and went ahead and served it with what I had left. I have been reading about Halo, and it does sound good. I cant wait to see how you like it. If things ever work out, you, Rev, and Txjourneyman migh make it out for a hog hunt, or I out there and Ill get a chance to check it out.
