    Fattest sounding G string (flatwound or roundwound)

    So what's the fattest sounding G string, flatwound or roundwound, you've ever played? And, does gauge matter?

    Fret Buzz

    Hi, I'm new to talkbass, my first post. I recently acquired a 1999 Chinese Squire P Bass. I'm getting fret buzz at the 6 7 and 8 fret only on the G string. I've tried everything I know of to correct it; truss rod, filing, action, heel pocket. Nothing has worked. Here's the strange part; When I...

    La Bella Flatwound: rough feeling "G" string?

    Hey y'all. Has anyone noticed the G string of various La Bella sets feeling rough lately? In the past year I have purchased several packs of the 760FS (45-105) set as well as one Olinto signature set (47-107) and they all have had an issue with the G string. Let me describe what I am...

    Double Bass Evah Pirazzi Orchestral Issue

    Hey all I just installed a fresh set of Evah Pirazzi Orchestral. I seem to be having an issue with the G string and I'm wondering if there's something wrong with the string itself. My bass was just setup so I know the issue is not with the instrument. All strings but the G sound and feel...

    Which of your basses has the loudest G string?...

    I was playing my only frankenbass (an 85' Peavey Foundation body with a '78 T-40 neck) and it never occurred to me how crisp and loud the G string is. I was hard-pressed to even find an obvious dead spot on the neck. When I compared it to my other basses, the G string was noticeably more...

    Double Bass Intonation Problems on one string of an upright bass

    Recently started renting an upright bass from a local music shop, I noticed that the G string is a bit off compared to the other three strings.

    MIM P Bass D & G string little volume

    I recently acquired a MIM P bass that had custom wound pickups installed. When I play it, the E & A string response, punch and volume are great. But when I move to the D & G strings, I can barely hear the notes. Any ideas? Thanks in advance.
