So, after the immense frustration of snapping a 50/50 string and getting annoyed by the feeling of a jagged, inconsistent starburst on my Loop 720s, I decided to change it up a bit with the response.

I took the existing string response out of both sides and completely sanded down the starburst on either side. Then I borrowed the small size CBC pads from my pocket change and stuck a pad on one side and threaded new string response in the other side. I actually used some wierd unknown, string that’s really soft and slick that I found in my mom’s junk drawer. It tears easily, but it gives a really soft, smooth feel to the response.

I gotta say, this response mod has drastically improved my Loop 720s’ performance, much like how replacing o-rings with silicone helped my Sunset Trajectories. I know it’s a risk for failure since the entire original response will essentially be destroyed, but I’d urge anyone who doesn’t mind taking the risk to give this a try. It was certainly worth it for me!

I may be able to post pics later. Anyone who decides to try this, let me know your results!

Hmm, my Loop 720’s do not have any sort of Starburst response in them. They use that threaded string response only. It’s definitely different and interesting.
