    La Bella Low Tension Flats

    Hello Sirs and Sirettes, Has anyone tried these strings? I play a Fender Precision bass tuned BEAD strung with 125-95-75-60 roundwounds. Now, most sets I find have a .130 B string. That is way too heavy, I suspect. I'm looking for something that feels like the rounds I use, tension-wise...

    Rotosound Jazz RS77 string tension

    I'm a long-time flats player, but I'd never tried Rotosound before. I bought the Steve Harris edition a few months back because I usually like heavy gauge strings (they are 50-110), but the string tension is just too high and I've got to get rid of them. I do like the sound though. So does...

    Low Tension Coated Strings?

    I’ve searched around the site and haven’t seen this specific topic discussed, so I figured I start a thread. I bought a bass recently that was strung with D’Addario FlexSteels (EFX220 Super Light) and I was amazed by the playability of the bass with those strings. My go-to strings for years...

    Why do you use the tension you do?

    I can't for the life of me understand why some bassists use light tension strings. For me, high tension strings allow me to put less energy into each pluck and move my right hand faster across them, as well as do things like triplets and sixteenths. I've played many a bass with light strings and...

    Converting Markbass Micromark input tension (220> 110v)

    Hello the community, I have a markbass MicroMark, purchased in France in 2007, it has a 220v input. Now I live in a country where the voltage is 110V (127V exactly ..., Brazil), so I would like to modify its input voltage, and switch to 110v (consider the remaining 17v as a present). Markbass...

    hex core 125 B string question/string recomendation for EBMM SR5HH

    Okay so basically I'm about to order new 5 strings (stingray 5hh), and I want to give the Power steels from SIT a try (and eventually the rock brights) and In my head since hex core strings have a tighter tension then round core, the B string shouldn't be as flubby as having a normal 125 gauge...

    LaBella 1954 tension

    A few months ago, I've bought a Mexican P, with the LaBella trads on it. I have REALLY grown to love both the feel and the thump, and I was thinking my Rick could use some more bass. So, I was about to order them, but I looked on Amazon, and people were talking about them having extremely high...

    High Tension but Slim Neck

    Hey guys! I'm shopping around, trying to figure out my next purchase to save up for. I'm looking for something that naturally has above average string tension; for what I play, stiff strings makes it easier to be precise. In conjunction with this, I really prefer slimmer necks, especially in...

    Ernie Ball Hybrid - question about balance in tension

    hi there! here's the point of this topic: on one of my basses I'm back to nickel plated strings in 45-105 gauge, due to the fact that this is my favourite gauge for slap, and on this particular bass I prefer nickel over steel, because it's pretty bright on it's own. right now it's strung...

    Double Bass Change to strings with different tension - setup needed?

    I have mostly bass guitar background and experiences. When I am changing strings on bass guitar to different tension I usually have to setup neck curve to have optimal string height. How it looks for double bass? I currently use D'Addario Hybrid Medium, which are set up to 6mm (1/4 inch) at the...

    .120 5-strings on a Warwick 4-string

    So here's the deal: My playing style is VERY agressive, I hack on my strings like Geddy Lee and Steve Harris and I pump a huge amount of lows and mids through my Orange Terror Bass 500, so I've got a BIG boomy gross tone. Unfortunately, even with all the treble cut out, the agressive hammering...
