Thomastik Dominant Solo Strings set £160

[Rabbie]

One month old set of Dominant Solo strings. I bought them for the bass I just sold and they wouldn’t suit my other basses. Although they have been on the bass for about a month, while it was for sale, they really haven’t been played at all, so I hope they would still have their whole life ahead.

Like most people do (in the non-classical world) I had them tuned down a step the standard G-D-A-E (instead of A-E-B-F#, which is what you will see written on the packets), and they produce a really satisfying blend of presence and ease of play. I think the superb Herve Jeanne (String Matrix) has an old video of them).

Anyhoo, they come in the original package and they retail for £262 at Bass Bags, so £160 seems very fair.

Any questions please ask.

Seem like  a great deal. I use solo string downtuned on my teaching bass and bluegrass bass and they’re great.

Yeah I resisted the idea for years…was worried the sound would be thin, but somehow it is very much not the case…detuned solos make sense: easy to play, still very good projection and no sore fingers. If they were Spiros instead of dominant I’d have kept them. My other bass is a slightly shorter scale and I heard dominants prefer a regular scale

I was told the Spiros (which is what I have) are used by lots of jazzers. They’re perfect for learners (but never bowing!)

Would part exchange for Spiros light or medium
