BassBus Posted January 8, 2011 Share Posted January 8, 2011 Can anyone identify what make these strings are? They came on my current DB when I bought it but I swapped them out for TI Spirocores. The E Spiro broke recently so I put the E from this set back on and it has a lovely clear sharp tone to it. They were not good for bowing so I would suspect a pizz string of some sort. Thanks for any help. G String D String A String Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

daflewis Posted January 9, 2011 Share Posted January 9, 2011 it might just be the pic, but the ball end on the g looks different from the other two... could it be a different make? (though the silks look the same) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BassBus Posted January 9, 2011 Author Share Posted January 9, 2011 The G does have a different ball end, solid as oposed to the hole in the other two. The silks on each string are different colours too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[/quote] The different coloured silks on each string is normal even for the same set, particularly at the tuner end.... it's more unusual to have different colours at the ball end (of the same make) but the d and a do look part of the same set.... ooh, a poser! I'll have a think and a root around see if i can find anything.... no promises mind! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BassBus Posted January 10, 2011 Author Share Posted January 10, 2011 Thanks daf. It seems to have everyone stumpped. I've emailed the Violin Shop in Glasgow where I bought the bass but that was about five or six years ago so I don't know if they will be able to help either. Hmm.
