  1. 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 ;)

      I don't think any semi-flat will have the same life as flats as they'll still collect dirt similar to rounds.  I use the GHS Pressurewounds and they're exactly what you'd expect, halfway between the two.  I've been using a set on my main bass since July and to my ear they sound the same as they ever did.

  2. Hi guys. Quick question about capo for bass. I need something to hold the strings on the first fret so I can measure relief during bass setups. That's all. Simple "holder". Any thoughts and advices? What should I buy to get a solid capo with bass? I always use my left hand and right arm to press strings to the last fret but it's always a pain in the a** to get good and easy measurements. Thanks in advance.

      Probably easiest to just buy a cheap capo but I suppose you could improvise with some elastic bands and a pen or something 🤷‍♂️
      You can get a cheap capo on Amazon for £4 though.

  3. Do old schol thumpy type flats (i.e not Fender/D'Addario bright types) without a completely dead E string exist????

      You know, I was quite surprised by my Ernie Ball Group III flats, much prefer them to Chromes and the Cobalt Slinky types.  Great all rounders.
