    polymer coated strings advantage

    Last year I spoke to a Rotosound rep who told me that the only a polymer coating doesn't change the sound. DR confirmed this, & Dragonskins are polymer coated Hibeams. (I keep going back to Hibeams.) If round wound strings get flat largely from gunk & grime, aren't polymer coated round wounds...

    DR Neon, Fender nickel plated and bassstringsonline - First Timer

    Had my first order from Bassstringsonline.com recently and thought I'd post about it. I had decided to get a bit adventurous. My experience with bass strings is really pretty light. Mostly I just buy basic steel roundwounds and am done with it, but I thought I'd try something new with this...

    Black Smith coated strings

    Hi, Does anyone have any experience of the Black Smith coated strings? Can't find much at all written about these and I'm curious to know how they sound and how long they stay sounding fresh. Has anyone tried them? If so, what did you think? Cheers

    Fretless Question- Mainly a guitarist, part-time on bass: Ebony, Graphite or Rosewood (or other)?

    OK, I just got a beautiful Medium Scale Japanese Fender '62 Jazz Bass in 3 tone sunburst & took off the pickguard already (now I just need the P-Bass knobs ;) & I am gettin' 'em too, no kiddin'). I love playing fretless, but I've never actually owned one, until now...and, this... Is... IT!! I'm...

    Where can I find black coated roundwound double ball strings?

    As the thread title says, I'm looking for something pretty specific. I want the bright aggressive tone of roundwound strings, but double ball end to use on my headless bass... And black for a particular look. (Also, I'm not looking for a "looks don't matter" response - maybe that works for you...

    Low Tension Coated Strings?

    I’ve searched around the site and haven’t seen this specific topic discussed, so I figured I start a thread. I bought a bass recently that was strung with D’Addario FlexSteels (EFX220 Super Light) and I was amazed by the playability of the bass with those strings. My go-to strings for years...

    DR Black Beauties dead string in box

    Yesterday, I strung up my Modern Player Jazz Bass with DR Black Beauties. Starting with the G, I replaced the old string and brought the new string up to proper tension. There was almost zero difference in tone, the G was identical in sound to a thoroughly worn-in roundwound string. Very...
