Hi All,
I recently bought a used Gibson F5 that had a huge low end chunk. You could really feel it against your chest, and this is a big part of why I bought it. Today I took off the ancient strings that where on it and put on some J74s and now it's all gone! The basic mid and highs are still there and the overall tone is the same but all chunk in the low end is absolutely gone! I replaced the strings one at a time so as not to move the bridge or cause any big changes in tension on the neck. I have no idea what strings were on it of course, though they appear to be bronze and roughly the same gauge as what I put I on. Any thoughts what the heck is going on?
Thanks for some thoughts
Chip
