Good evening...(or morning/afternoon if you aren't reading this tonight)...
I'm now in search of some strings and getting some flex strips from Ray is my current plan as I want to build a (mini)Megatree and have some effects similar to the videos i have seen. So I started doing some searching on Canada's equivalent of ebay (kijiji) and found a local guy who is selling the 5M strip of 5050s at $50.
My questions - are these strips what you would use with a DSC (vs a SSC - so they won't really help me with the megatree i have planned and do nutcracker type effects) .I think they are the same ones that Ray is selling for $22, but after shipping, duty, taxes, etc, the $50 might not be a bad deal (is $50 a decent price?). Below are the specs of the string. I won't like the website to them but will PM someone the details if it is just not obvious what the purpose of these would be for.
I think i'm getting there with the basics of this, but not quite yet.
Thanks,
Ryan
