PTB Posted January 1, 2012 Share Posted January 1, 2012 I played Orlando Shearer's bass a few years ago which had Supernils on. He plays with West Weston & King David and many others on the London blues scene. I was playing Spirocores at the time and found his strings much too floppy for my touch and rather indistinct in pitch. He of course made them sound great. Like you, I now also play Innovation and find the sound, tension & definition just right for the jump blues & west coast swing we do. Personally, I wouldn't be trying Supernils again.

PaulKing Posted January 3, 2012 Share Posted January 3, 2012 A lot of slappers use them, but they can be a bit harsh on your fingerboard i believe, as they are round wound. Innovations are half-round wound, so feel smoother to the touch. But the new Cordes Lambert are round wound and I have no problem with them. One prototype set did mark my fingerboard, but not the real things. I'll be interested to know how you think they compare to innovations.
