Dogal expressive flat 12-46 have a wounded B!

[Llewlyn]

Any experience with this particular brand or, even better, this particular gauge?



This gauge seems good bc of low bottom but what is with the wounded B?

Sad, is the wound fatal?

A wound B is pretty cool. Mandolin players can get a wound A (.016) from Thomastik.

One can even get a wound E string for violin (.010) from that company.

lol - I am not a native Eng speaker :-)

English has really too many similar words though, both in spelling and pronunciation. Some time ago I was trying to say that "the person is a hassle" but pronunciation didn't come out right. Nuclear

Pretty sure that’s a typo. I just started using this exact set…( they are fantastic) The G is wound (not according to your info) and the B is not. It’s also plain steel.

[Llewlyn]

Great to know!

Are they on an archtop or a solid body?

Could you comment on feel (sticky etc), boominess of bottom end, and tension?
In tension do they feel like a TI 12?

If you like Bensons,you will probably like the Dogals.They are very smooth and the tension is like Thomastik.My own subjective take is that they sound a little better acoustically than Thomastik.

I have the expression 12s on a Capellone 16” thinline standard. They are very smooth I feel more than the TI 12s. Great playability! My low E is 0.52 like the GB TI 12s. Tension seems similar. I prefer the tone, slightly more upper mid range harmonics than TI. I love them. I also use their “evolution” 10s with a wound third on a Collings I35. Great tone, brighter, for playing blues, rock and country.

Then again, what they thought you said could have been appropriate too !

[Jabberwocky]

"Wound" rhymes with the English "hound".

"Wound(ed)" rhymes with the German "hund".

Both sport a pair each of the dog's bollocks.

You know I don't think it's a typo

Woodstove: I think you have the 12-52 set, which has a wound G

Whereas the 12-46 set, seems to have a wound B (AND a wound G. I think you only state the highest wound, the other are assume to be so).

Anyways, I ordered one so we'll see

In the 1980ies there was a Thomastik jazz set with a wound B available in Switzerland. In Germany it was sold with a plain B. The plain B in the set sounded somewhat more brilliant which i preferred. But this was my personal preference, someone else might have preferred the wound B.

Old school! Does it intonate on normal bridges?

Makes sense LL sorry for the misinformation. Let us know how you like them, especially the wound B...

[ombudsman]

it seems clear it's not a typo : Linea Rossa Vintage Jazz long Scale Flat Wound

scroll down a little until you see the grey Search box, then hit the Strings button for detail on that single string

Now I'm super curious.

[Llewlyn]

Arrived!! Not a typo!!! Sounds really AWESOME (and I low the bottom end of the 46) but intonation of the B is a bit off. I'll take it for a setup this Saturday

Anybody knows if Thomastik makes a 020 wound G?

Bebops 13’s are my favourite but in some guitar I’d like to go slightlier lower in tension.

Problem is that Bebops 12’s come with a plain G that gives me intonation problems with wooden bridges and doesn’t feel right to me.

Tried substituting with

.20 flat (from TI swing 2 set) perfect tension but sounds duller
.21 wound (from BB 13 set) sounds perfect but you can feel this 1kg added tension there in the middle.

has anybody found a solution?

thanks in advance,

David

[ombudsman]

Thomastik-Infeld JS20 Nickel Flat Wound 3rd string (g) .020, Single

[ombudsman]

English draws from many languages, and thus there are words that are spelled the same but have different meanings and pronunciation. The word wound is one of them. In the sense used here, it is pronounced as rhyming with hound, mound, and others. In this use it never takes the -ed ending, the base form being wind (another word with different meanings and pronunciations), and wound being the past tense. The other meaning of wound relates to an injury, as in "he suffered a severe wound from a sword", and is pronounced as rhyming with the German Hund. The past tense of this word is indeed wounded. English is one of the most difficult languages to learn as a non-native speaker because of these admixtures from so many different languages.

Yes, I have the 12-52 version of this set and the B is not wound, sorry for the misinformation about a typo.
