Had something kind of odd happen at band practice today, and I think I know what the cause of the issue was, but wanted to run it past the community here at TB to see what others thought or if it had happened to anyone else.
I recently strung my P5 with a set of D'Addario ProSteels with tapered...
I've recently switched strings that I use and I still have some Elixir Steels leftover from when I bought in bulk a few months back. No need for them to just sit here. 3pk unopened 5 string Elixir stainless steel strings. These are absolutely killer strings, I just went back to nickel because I...

Quick report on Fodera 45105 Stainless Steel String. I really dig these! Kind of a cross between Hi Beams and Dunlop MM’s. Thicker tone the Hi Beams and slightly higher tension. More flexible then Fat Beams though and quite similar to Dunlop MM’s but not as rough of a feel. Don’t know who makes...
So I am a big fan of Labella's flatwounds, and reading these forums I read a lot of good comments about the fender flats, so when I bought a set and opened them up I was pretty surprised to find a set of black tapewound style strings in the package.
So are fender stainless flatwounds, 9050M...
I've been pursuing just what steel underlies the nickel plating of the outer cover wrap of most 'NPS' roundwound strings.
Is it stainless steel? (I think that it is)
Is it high carbon (tool) steel?
Is it low carbon (your normal everyday auto body steel)?
Do you know? Do you know? Do you know?
So I like the sound and feel of very worn in stainless steel roundwounds. Haven’t tried many in recent years, last set was blue steels and it took over two months to season them. Any others?

I have two brand new sets of Elixir Stainless Steel 5 string sets. Price is $25 shipped to CONUS each.
Again, that is $25 per set, not $25 for both sets.

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.
I like these strings. I put them on a bass that I never ever wanted to restring again. I chose this stringset over all others mainly because of things I didn't want to hear. On the top end nothing: bright; clanky, 'modern', or twangy. On the bottom end the last thing I wanted was a dull dead...
Well the title says it all. I prefer stainless sound on my Jazz bass elite5 and I currently use rotos swing bass 5string.
The sound is really nice, I especially love the feel of the 5th string, but see the title problem.
Is there a way to overcome this? Fast fret doesn't help (well it does for...
Hey everyone, I'm looking for some Ernie Ball Flatwounds, NOT the newer Cobalt strings, the regular Stainless Steel ones, here in the UK. I'm not a fan of the Cobolts, thought I would be since I liked the guitar equivalents, the high frequencies are too pronounced for my taste.
I keep looking...

It's that time... Time to change the strings
Any recommendations on a good round wound, stainless steel, normal gauge 6 string set which happens to be extra long?
since I have no option other than string through body, the ball end to nut is about 38"-38.5", if the silk wrap starts before that -...
Hey all!
So to sum it up quickly: I'm a bass player who plays in an alternative rock group that play aggressive grungy/alt rock/ metal, often with chilled or jazzy verses or bridges.
For my sound I use an Ampeg SVT with an overdrive for a very aggressive clanky/grindy hi-middy big tone with a...
