Restringing, anything new in materials
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.

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

Kent.
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.
