Hi. Any half-rounds/pressurewound strings users here? I have a couple of questions
I know that D'Addario and GHS make these ones but is there any other company that make HR/Pressurewound strings? How does it feel and how is a life of those strings compare to flats? I use exlusively flats since 8 years now but maby it's time to experiment a little bit but I need to know if their life is good because I don't wanna change my strings every month. I change my flats every 1-2 years but not less. Thanks in advance

Depends on what you are after, I have groundwounds on my fretless but the last the same amount of time as roundwwounds. Tapewounds last a lot longer but aren't able to give the bite the roundwounds string does imho (Boom! off goes the tapewounds vs roundwounds debate). Tapewounds have a higher tesnion (requires a truss rod adjustment and feel different) Groundwounds dont in my experience.

Is it just me or are secondhand basses getting more expensive recently?

Secondhand market on here seems to be pretty much stagnant atm imho. I also think a lot of collectors selling off some bigger ticket guitars as times are tough. I have been a member of here for quite a while a fedora's just didn't appear, seen quite a few recently. The 300 to 600 band still seems pretty buoyant the big hitters hang around for quite a while which may explain why it the prices seem to be rising. Also stuff like the USA SUB musicman basses, great vfm for a us built musicman compared to the eye waveringly high prices stingrays are new these days. Prices are hiking on those as well, demand being the driver.

Never thought I'd get myself a Dingwall. And now I have. It's. Amazing.
