    bump, if you are tempted make me an offer...
  2. alex_1_2_3
    Yeah somebody else asked me a similar question... I honestly don't know, hopefully someone on here can help you out!

    [quote name='Dr Phibes' timestamp='1348410400' post='1813256'] Any idea how these measure up tension-wise compared to the Ultralites? [/quote] I'm not sure, i've never tried ultralites. I found them very easy to play though, particularly the D and G, the E and A seem slightly more tense on my bass. Hopefully someone else on here might know!

    Thanks for the comments, I think they are a relatively new string, hence the lack of info

    Sunday deal: £80 posted!!
  6. alex_1_2_3
    £90 if you collect from Birmingham, would cost you over £200 new!

    Hmm ok that's interesting, I'll definitely have to give the honeys a go at some point. This is going to be an expensive process!

    Thanks for all the suggestions! [quote name='thisnameistaken' timestamp='1346946019' post='1795185'] Innovation Honey would be my suggestion. Not too expensive either. I think they do have a synthetic core but I've had no tuning problems with them. [/quote] Innovation honey's might be good, but I have a feeling they might be slightly higher tension than I would like. How would you say they compare in tension to other strings? [quote name='TheRev' timestamp='1346946808' post='1795209'] Velvet Garbos are great but a bit pricey. Velvet Blues are a good cheaper option. The tuning stability is a bit iffy while they stretch, but that settles after about a week. [/quote] I've tried the velvet blue's, very nice but i didn't get on with how they felt and they sounded a bit metallic for my liking with my bass. Didn't work too well with a bow either :-S. [quote name='Clarky' timestamp='1346948139' post='1795231'] The nicest low tension steel I have tried are Kolstein Heritage. Not massively pricey (cost just over £100 if you import from Gollihur's in US). Cheapest option will be Innovations [/quote] These are on my list to try out at some point! Also thinking of trying: Jargar dolce gauge Corelli 370m Daddario Helicore lights Spiro Solo's tuned down. Anyone got experience with any of those?

    So recently I've been testing out a lot of different strings but I'm still struggling to find a string that I feel most comfortable with. I've used evah weich's for a while and I like the sound and feel, however my ideal string would be a little less tense and more flexible for pizzicato playing (which I do 90% of the time). Most probably a steel string and usable with a bow (though not my main priority). All the nylon core strings that I've tried bug me because they don't stay in tune very well... Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated!! Alex

    Open to cash offers..
  14. alex_1_2_3
    Ah ok, nevermind, was just a thought!
  15. alex_1_2_3
    That's a shame mate, depending on who you got them from, there's normally a cancellation period... just a thought!

    Got these a few weeks back from thomann, since decided to switch back to Evah's. Only been on my bass for a couple of weeks. Nice nylon feel with a tungsten wound rope core and they look cool too! Sold Pending the usual
