Hi guys been having great fun with the Gibson ub2 my friend came round with his Gibson and Ludwig
My uke came with GHS strings and they sounded great but the intonation was off ,we replaced with fremont soprano/concert Fluorocarbon perfect all the way up the fret board sounds great ,his Ludwig has them on so he turned up last night for our weekly strum my fremonts had settled and sound great but he said his ub2 was actally fitted with Fluorocarbon fishing line !!!!! he matched the thickness with Berkley Trilene Big Game fishing line
I played his uku my uke his uke you get the idea LOL
He assures me that there are not many actual makers of Fluorocarbon line and they probably supply string sellers and anglers?
Is this correct? before I buy 100meters of each

PS as to the different sound characteristic's ,volume ,tone ,timbre feel tension ,
I would say identical only difference the fishing line had a slight blue tindge in colour
