franzbassist Posted July 7, 2023 Author Share Posted July 7, 2023 Thanks, but those are half rounds, rather than pressure wounds. I want to avoid the "grabbiness" of half rounds. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PaulThePlug Posted July 7, 2023 Share Posted July 7, 2023 The 55's are Blah Blah-ed as... a 'Squashed Swing'... The original pressure wound stainless steel bass string designed in the mid-1970s. Similar to our Swing Bass 66 strings but with a smoother feel. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PaulThePlug Posted July 7, 2023 Share Posted July 7, 2023 The Roto's are squashed with a funny hand held tool or mandrel thing... Try dropping Roto a message, see if they can Custom-Squish a set of Roto Nickels for you? Demo Trial set! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hellzero Posted July 7, 2023 Share Posted July 7, 2023 (edited) And Alembic strings, which as opposed to what might be read are not GHS Pressurewound strings as they are smoother to the touch with more brightness in the tone. That said, they are not that easy to find, are quite expensive ... and tend to rust quite quickly (that's nickel). https://www.rocketmusicshop.com/products/alembic-cx-3-45lb-5-string-bass-strings Edited July 7, 2023 by Hellzero 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have a set of SIT strings on my bass, not sure which type, but I rather like them. Smoother feel and sound than the Dunlop steels that I have previously used, and a rich deep sound Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fretmeister Posted September 22, 2023 Share Posted September 22, 2023 I was not impressed by the GHS Pressurewound B string. The others were very nice, but the B was bloody awful. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
