They've got a slightly slippery-er feel under the finger, which is good. Pricey, but you get your money back because they last for months. Make sure your bass is set up for a low action, even if it rattles a bit. As time progresses and your fingertips harden you can try some other string makes and jack your action back up a bit.[/quote]

I can't seem to find them anywhere... none on eBay and my local doesn't sell them, are they sold in england?

I've had a look at these, nickel lights...

Any good?

if not link me up to something better!

alright guys. I got a thrashed yammy rbx170 im a novice learner, playing metal fingered bass, never use plecs and i'm a girl so have pretty small hands, reccommend me some strings that would suit and wont break the bank and hopefully reduce the raw-ness of my hands lately

i've been playing for about a month now, and got some basic intro's and scales, but i'm having trouble with speed.
I'm into metal and got some song's that are pretty simple but i just can't play them quick enough, i can play them slow but when i try for full speed i can't pluck fast enough. i've been playing fingered bass from the beginning, never with a plectrum, any tips on how to help speed up my playing \accuracy at speed?

Good Condition, Bit bent but good

Open to an offer to sell it, or I would swap for something nice for my bass, I need a stand or bag!![/center]

I'm wanting to find some tabs, but not having any luck, even the allmight UG doesn't have what I'm after.

Looking for some Turisas !!

And WOLF tabs, which I can't find anywhere! There's 4 songs on UG but none of the ones I'm after.

Anyone got any, or know where I can get them?

Can you let me know how much you can post one for if they don't go?

I don't have a bag or stand for my bass its just propped in the corner and keeps getting knocked over, so if one of these is still available please let me know.

As above, can you use any pedal or are their specific distortion pedals etc. For basses

hello from yorkshire, am a completely new player, and just got my first bass.A yamaha rbx170.
wanting to learn metal/rock style but at the minute am still on plucking exercises! lol
So... hi!

Thanks for that, I do like the look of the yamaha better

Which one of these would be better for a first base?

They are both in good condition and within budget.

Aria Pro II FB

or

Yamaha rbx170

Wanting to play mostly rock/metal

Just wanted to add that the whole "Play it and see which feels best" won't really work for me as I can't play yet and don't know anyone that can
Just wanted to know people's views.

From what i can find the Yamaha is better reviewed, but I'm struggling to find much on the aria.
