    Double Bass Zyex Upright Strings - Light Gauge

    Dear Colleagues, I am 71 years old, and I have bad arthritis in my thumb joints and my right hand wrist after it was broken in a car accident (a hit and run). I play double bass at church. I primarily play pizz, but the music director has me play occasionally at an extra mass or special event...

    Lighter gauges for heavy fret wear?

    Recently acquired a used Ibanez SR Prestige. Great bass, but the frets are very beaten up (still playable, not a ton of buzz yet, but some fairly deep dents in the wire). I do really love this bass though, so was considering busting out a pack of TI Jazz rounds from my stash. Now, these strings...

    Lighter string gauge feels more tense

    I usually play with 45-105 roundwound strings (harley benton because they're cheap) and I wanted to try a lighter string gauge. I bought a set of 40-100 strings (warwick). I had to set up my bass for the strings and I realised my set-up wasn't great even with the old strings. There was too much...

    Heavy gauge back to lighter gauge for practice (?)

    I briefly put on (and intend to keep handy) a set of Fender tapewounds on my P bass with a gauge of 58-110. Granted, tapes are not as stiff as flats, but moving back down to a 40-100 set of Rotos rounds, it feels almost effortless playing fast runs and moving around the frets. Does anyone use a...

    Besides Elixirs and D'Addario EXL, who makes a decent coated string?

    Good options in 40-95 gauge?

    Hello, I'd like to try super-light 40-95 gauged strings (have Dunlop Super Bright 40-100 at the moment) - could use some help from those who knows the subject. I'm mostly playing blues/classic rock stuff and even though I dig sound of Dunlops - a little less tension would be nice.

    What are the highest tension nickel roundwound light gauge strings? (40-95)

    I've never used light gauge strings before, but I want to try them out. However, Id prefer a set that is considered to have higher tension than the average light gauge string
