SisterAbdullahX Posted December 6, 2015 Share Posted December 6, 2015 Looking for some roundwound recommendations for my CIJ Jazz. Currently has DR Nickel Low Riders on, which sound great on the E and A, really full and punchy, but a bit too zingy on the D and G. Nice in the mids though on all four strings. Also looking for fairly high tension, not keen on floppy strings! So there you go, punchy, high tension nickels with good mid content....GO!

LayDownThaFunk Posted December 6, 2015 Share Posted December 6, 2015 I would suggest DR Pure Blues. Or SIT Power Wounds. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lozz196 Posted December 6, 2015 Share Posted December 6, 2015 I`ve recently swapped over to D`Addario Prosteels and am very impressed with them. The gauge selection I find really works on these (45, 65, 80, 100 for light, 50, 70, 85, 105 for medium), the strings all seem much more "together" if that makes any sense. Fairly good tension too, not as much as Rotosounds but I`m similar, I don`t like floppy strings as I like to dig in, and these are fine for that.

SisterAbdullahX Posted December 6, 2015 Author Share Posted December 6, 2015 Cheers Lozz. When I bought the bass it had DR Fat Beams on. The tension took some getting used to but once I had I found there was no going back, and they sounded great, only thing I wasn't keen on was the feel of steel. I may have to try to get used to it!

WarrenD Posted December 7, 2015 Share Posted December 7, 2015 Hello Sister, You may well like Elites Player Series strings. They're nickel wound, nice feel with an early taper above the nut and have very a pronounced mid-range. A nice crack indeed! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[/quote] Would fast fret help with the feel? I have never used it but it is supposed to make the strings feel slick? as well as cleaning them Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SisterAbdullahX Posted December 8, 2015 Author Share Posted December 8, 2015 (edited) Cheers for the replies, fellas. I've decided to give D'Addario EXL170BT's a try, the balanced tension set. If anyone's tried em, I'd be interested to hear! Edited December 8, 2015 by SisterAbdullahX Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dannybuoy Posted December 8, 2015 Share Posted December 8, 2015 D'Addarios or Dunlop Super Brights get my vote. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Qlank Posted December 10, 2015 Share Posted December 10, 2015 Da'Darrio EX190 works for me. Not sure about the tension though. I use Fast Fret, after a while I can hardly feel the strings. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
