chrkelly Posted June 27, 2012 Share Posted June 27, 2012 Stick with them! They're amazing strings. I use a c ext set in heavy gauge. Beautiful sound & easy to play. They sounded really unbalanced at first but after a month of abuse they've evened out great. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Damo200 Posted July 1, 2012 Share Posted July 1, 2012 I second Chris. The Kaplans are louder and more focussed than Belcantos. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ian Davies Posted November 7, 2012 Share Posted November 7, 2012 Thanks for your reply, how do they compare to Belcantos in terms of string tension and thickness? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marvin spangles Posted November 7, 2012 Author Share Posted November 7, 2012 They are slightly thinner and higher in tension. AFAIK . Not sure what you want them for Ian. I would recommend them for classical as they are a dream to bow but not jazz at least not on my bass. There's a review thread just started over on TB you might get more information there.
