Stompbox Posted December 18, 2009 Share Posted December 18, 2009 Good afternoon, Have you still got any sets left - I have only recently got a 3/4 DB - it's strung with Innovation black nylon "Ultra Black" which are high tension (it says on the box). What I'm after are a set that are, perhaps, a little easier to play - are the Helicore Solo or Orchestral more suitable - I'm playing ( or TRYING to play ) pizz for fairly basic Country/Blues/Standards kind of stuff. On a purely practical note metallic/silver strings would also be easier to see in a dark setting on a black fingerboard! Anyway do you have a set that might suit please? Thanks.

Owen Posted December 18, 2009 Author Share Posted December 18, 2009 Hi Stompbox I have the Helicore Orchestral light set £40 Corelli 360 Medium Solo tuning set £30 D'addario Helicore Solo set £30 sets left The helicore orchestral light set would probably be what you need unless you want to get adventurous and take a solo tuning set (made to tune 1 tone up so they would be pretty loose in normal tuning).

Stompbox Posted January 3, 2010 Share Posted January 3, 2010 Hi - back after break for Christmas/New Year. Thanks for your reply, but it looks like I missed out on the Orchestral set you recommended! When you say "adventurous" as regards a solo set, is the idea that you would normally use them a tone up, or deliberately run them slack at normal pitch? Could I get an idea of how they would feel by de-tuning my bass by a full tone? Cheers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cheers.[/quote] That would kind of give you the same vibe. How about I send you them on a sale or return basis? If you like them keep them, if not then send them back for a refund, minus postage costs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fatgoogle Posted January 4, 2010 Share Posted January 4, 2010 Hi I have no idea on strings but do you have a set thats good for bowing and orchestral playing. Thanks Sam H Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Owen Posted January 4, 2010 Author Share Posted January 4, 2010 I do not really have anything left in a complete set, but what kind of strings are you using at the moment? If you are using a school bass then the strings could be really horrible. Perhaps the £20 set (posted to your door) ([size=1]sell sell sell[/size]) would be an improvement, but I really cannot tell. This might be a help to identify your present strings [url="http://www.quinnviolins.com/qv_stringidsearch.shtml"]http://www.quinnviolins.com/qv_stringidsearch.shtml[/url] [quote name='fatgoogle' post='700358' date='Jan 4 2010, 12:20 PM']Hi I have no idea on strings but do you have a set thats good for bowing and orchestral playing.
