New 5 string sets (GHS, Newtone, Elites) £251 Hampshire

[franzbassist]

After much experimentation over the last few months, I have now settled on my preferred strings for each of my basses, so these unused sets are all up for sale.  All prices are posted per set, but happy to combine and discount for multiple purchases.

 

GHS Pressurewound (39.25" winding and custom made to fit Dingwall basses and imported from the US) - £40

3 x Newtone Platinum nickel roundwounds on round cores - (2 x 37" and 1 x 38" ball end to taper) - £35 SOLD

2 x GHS Brite Flat groundwounds (38" ball end to taper) - £38

1 x Elites Groundwounds (38" apart from the B, which is 37.25" I think) - £30

 

Thanks for looking.

What are the newtone strings like. I normally use D'addario strings and would like to use strings closer to home. I tend to prefer rounds with a bright sound regardless of genre and tame that by eq.  Any views?

As they have round cores I would say there's a bit mellower than the D'Ads.

 

Watch this video, from 1:56 to 2:42 and then again from 6:49 to 7:35, which might help.
