Hello. Can anyone tell me if there is any manufacturer who makes a black stainless steel string? I’m not looking for a coated string. I’m Actually hoping to find a stainless steel string made from black wire. And to be even more specific, I play a 6 string bass. Thanks!!

Do higher tension strings CHOKE the top of the bass allowing it to “speak” less? I read somewhere lower tension strings (like guts) let the top “speak” or “breathe” more (?). I’m honestly not concerned with it from a functional standpoint just more interesting to toss around...
I have been reading with interest the observations of luthiers and historians of American made plywood basses and their building changes in reaction to the general use of steel strings over gut strings in the late 1950s onward. People who have studied the top thicknesses of Kay basses mention...
Hi!
Title says it all...
I am wondering if anyone here has tried brass vs. steel saddles on a steel plate bridge( in my case it's the Hipshot vintage bridgein stainless steel) and what you have found.
Did you prefer one material over the other and if so , what was it you liked?
Since this MUST...
Hi guys & gals,
As in the title: who makes an 18mm spaced 6 string bass with stainless steel frets? The only other requirement is that is must not have a zero fret......
Maybe a Carvin / Kiesel? I can't think of any others......
Many thanks in advance.
Hello people!
So, I've been doing a few threads about strings, lately.
I googled for this, but I didn't find anything... I just found people that use ''old'' to say ''dead''. I prefer dead strings as well, but I think that my doubt would be interesting to share and hear what old time users have...
Hi guys and gals!
So: Roto66 ''Swing Bass'' strings come both in the classic stainless steel formula AND nickel plated steel, these days. I guess that when our lord and saviour John Entwistle contributed to create that string, it was only steel. I've got a few questions then.
1) When did the...
I am finishing up some extensive modding to my Squier Precision bass. Partway through I had an idea to make a pickguard out of a sheet of steel I had taking up space in my apartment. I already cut out the rough shape using tinsnips:
I still have to drill/cut out the holes for screws, knobs...
Used but still plenty of life left. On the bass for about 8-9 months. Pegbox end red wrapping is a little frayed but string is perfectly in tact.
$100 shipped.

I play mostly country/roots/bluegrass and prefer little/no sustain and medium-high tension.
My trial and error wasn't too expensive, maybe 5-6 various used sets over the years, many of them nylon/perlon core. I had lots of good results and I liked the 140b's on the Kay for a long time but...
