ULTRA BLACKS
A black nylon flatwound string with a bit more tension than the rockabillys. A real dark horse this one, has a lovely punch to the pizz and a good amount of growl and sustain; it also bows surprisingly well, though with a definite "reediness" to the sound.

The strings have gone on Geraldine today and first impressions are pretty damn fine. They have a smooth feel with no stickiness - like silk under the fingers. The tension seems somewhere between Innovation Honeys and Spirocore mediums. They bow better than the Honeys but not quite as well as the Spirocores. And they look really cool. Black strings. Yeah.

Thanks Daf, Im getting their slowly.

But more importantly...the Ultras are amazing. Lovely deep sound. Cant wait until the rest of the band hears them on Wednesday.

Think I feel a purchase coming on lol

just one thing....the ends could do with being coloured like the other strings....its really hard putting black strings on a black bass.

Oh, as for the ends - yeh, it's funny, people seem divided on the colour issue.... I think the original reason was the whole "ultra black" thang.. But, in fact the silk colour of the braid orchestral string was changed to black because people thought the mauve ends clashed with their basses! :D
