Joined: August 2006 Posts: 3145 Location: Marlton, NJ | A guy that I work with mentioned to me that these guys are just getting into the string business: Aurora Strings I don't have any personal connection to them, but the guy I work with knows the sales rep. Anyway, I asked him for some samples that I could pass along to good test group. For whoever wants to try them, this is what I have: Acoustic: Gold 12 - 54 Red 13 - 56 Gold 13 - 56 Blue 12 - 54 Mixed 11 - 50 The way it'll work is first come, first served. PM me with which set you want (1 per person) and your shipping address and I will get them out to you. I'm going to limit this to the continental US to keep shipping costs down. All I ask is for some good feedback that I can pass along to the Rep. I'm an EJ16 kind of guy, so I'm just going to try the one set of electric strings that I've got. | ||

Hall E at Namm used to be known as "inventors alley" and before the "Chinese Invasion" was always full of small, independant non-corporate companies that would be showing either totally f'up shit or very cool stuff (I demo-ed there for a coupla years with G-band, the jury is still out) The first time I met a certain individual with the initials KK we were invited to join him "trawling the Fubars" and we've referred to it as such ever since | ||

So far everyone who has PMd me has asked for the gold 12s as their first choice - Murphy's Law in action??? Everyone's 2nd choice was the blues - so either way, the blues are gone. For those that PM'd me for the Golds, PM me back and let me know if you want the Silver instead. I will keep the same order intact. Sorry for the confusion. | ||
