    SOLD Ernie Ball 5 String Slinky Set Brand New-Looking for Short Scale Rounds

    Bought a bass (4 string short scale) it came with these in the gig bag. I need a set of strings for the bass I have so if someone out there has a new set of roundwounds for a 30” scale bass I’d gladly trade. DR Sumbeams would be fantastic but EB, D’Addario, Fender or other brands OK too. $14.50...

    Smoothest Feeling Rounds

    I am wanting to put rounds on my Jazz for a slightly more zingy tone but I REALLY like the feeling of flats. Is there a round wound string with good articulation that is smoother than others? Suggestions?

    I'm considering getting a Ric 4003 soon, done some research and I see a mixed results regarding strings. Which do you use and why? Trying to keep this somewhat scientific, so no carrots option :(

    Low tension rounds

    Are DR Sunbeams still the go to for low tension roundwounds? My bass has a floating bridge (like a jazz guitar) and higher tension strings tend to push the bridge forward even with witness points set repeatedly. I'm currently using SR2000's which have a tapered B, E, & A. The taper helps the...

    Flats or half rounds on an active 6 string fretted bass?

    So, I bought a 6 string not too long ago (early/mid 90s Carvin LB76 with a quilted maple top and ebony fretboard). I got it back in July and the strings seemed reasonably fresh (some manner of run of the mill roundwounds, no idea what specifically) so I've been playing them as is (after I gave...

    Discussion: "I can make my rounds sound like flats"

    I've read many people on here saying, in some way or another, that they can make their rounds sound like flats. It's often phrased as "I can take away treble but I can't add it." This has never been my experience. I've tried everything from using my tone knob, to changing pickups, to using...

    Anybody have experience with Ernie Ball Stainless Steel rounds?

    I don't see these talked about much on TB. I've used EB Nickels and Cobalts extensively and love both of them but I'm wondering how these compare tonally and tension-wise. I remember these got really good marks on a bass string shootout in Bass Player Magazine in the 90's.
