scrumpymike Posted January 1 Share Posted January 1 Just fitted a RS88S 065-115 short-scale set to my home noodling bass (Encore P) and absolutely loving the sound and feel of these! They're an unopened set I got given with a used s-s ACG bought off here and I've only given them a try to avoid shelling out on my preferred La Bella 760FS-S strings. Are any of you gigging these?

Rodders Posted January 15 Share Posted January 15 I put a long scale set of these on a fretless P, its a cool sound, I was worried about the feel of them, if they were going to be too floppy, but work fine for me. Not gigged yet but I'll report back if I do! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EssentialTension Posted January 15 Share Posted January 15 I used Trubass on a Takamine B10 fretless for a while and they were fine, However I eventually replaced them with La Bella 760FS. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnH89 Posted January 15 Share Posted January 15 I have 2 fretlesses and a Jack Casady bass all strung with Roto88s . Love em 😁 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kodiakblair Posted January 15 Share Posted January 15 Bought a set of TruBass for £5 in a closing down sale. Loved them, they were on my P-bass from 1984 to when I sold the bass late 1989 🙂 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gjones Posted January 15 Share Posted January 15 I do like them but the gauge is enormous. I've only got one bass where the nut slots are wide enough to fit them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've only got one bass where the nut slots are wide enough to fit them. Yes, I had to open the nut slots out on mine. The s-s set is 065 075 090 115, which is probably another reason why they initially got stuck away in the back of a drawer rather than being tried. Must say the fairly expensive set of nut files I splashed out on fairly recently have proved very useful ever since. Not much use when you need to down-size on slot width though. 🙂 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baloney Balderdash Posted January 23 Share Posted January 23 (edited) Can't imagine them sounding good near and above 12th fret on a short scale bass, unless you love a dead thud. Edited January 23 by Baloney Balderdash Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
