    5 sting flatwounds with tapered B-string?

    I have used my Fender 90505L set for ages, but they are discontinued. I like D'addario Chromes too, but the tapering really seemed to help the B-string ring better and be on par with the rest of the strings volume vice. Are there any options availeable? (I live in the EU)

    Strings like Pressurewounds but Tapered B?

    I have fallen in love with GHS Pressurewounds. Like the baby bear between flats and rounds that just works for me. Problem is I dig Tapered Bs on fivers. Can't find that GHS makes them. Are there other comparable strings? My search did not drum up much info. Thanks!

    Tapered B strings.

    Hi, I have a Ibanez SR705 and it's my first time to use the tapered b strings. when i googling, i saw one article that have to raise the B string’s saddle a little higher than the other strings. is it right? and is there other install precautions?

    Bad experiences with D strings of tapered sets.

    I've had weird issues with tapered sets on my bass that I only now was able to correlate. Namely, D strings of tapered sets seem to die very quickly when compared to the rest of the set. I came to the conclusion recently, when playing my bass again after not having touched it for a week. The D...

    Which companies make 5 string sets with tapered B?

    I searched this in the forums and lots of info there, but it's all several years old. I'm guessing there have been product changes since those posts went up. For reference, I am waiting on delivery of a new G&L MJ-5 active Jazz. That is a 34" scale 5 string bass and I expect I will have to do...

    Tapered, Exposed core Flats as a means to lower action?

    Is there such a thing as tapered or exposed core Flatwouds? If so who makes them and if not what would be a good alternative to flats? I have a 1976 P-bass that has pretty worn frets, my tech said next step is a refret but I am not quite ready to go there so I am looking at tapered or exposed...

    Tapered strings: How much should stick out?

    How much of the tapered part should be sticking out past the saddle? As little as possible? I just installed a tapered low B and added a bunch of washers so the tapered portion won't stick out more than 2-3mm past the saddle. Any thoughts?

    This set includes 107T, 85T, 63, 43 gauges. This is a fantastic set for those who normally use 45105, but want a beefier E with slightly smaller D/G. They’re optimized for PRS Basses, but I have them on my Ibanez SR5 along with a 130T. I’ve been a fan of taper wound B strings for years now, and...

    DR Nickel Lo Rider Tapered B or Similar?

    Hi all, DR Nickel Lo Riders are far and away my favorite string. I have them on 90% of my basses. I like the aggressive DR tone and mid-range growl I get from them while not being too stiff or too loose feeling. They also last longer. There is some magic there with that hex core and nickel...
