spacecowboy Posted November 23, 2009 Share Posted November 23, 2009 Hey Dan! Welcome to the board! In my experience i have never really agreed with coated strings, i have tried Elixers and Warwick EMP's but man its like sliding around on Ice, i like the gritty feel of Steels, i have used DR Black Beauty strings and they have been the one exception i seriously liked those! even though they promised to last 4 or 5 times as long as an non coated string but they died a couple of months later like a standard set of steels! They looked ace on the bass though! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cat Burrito Posted November 27, 2009 Share Posted November 27, 2009 Welcome - I used a GENZ-BENZ amp at a venue the other week and was quite impressed (a real life saver as I'd blown a fuse which I couldn't replace in mine). In terms of coated strings the closest I have come is Rotosound Trubass which I really like Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Telebass Posted November 28, 2009 Share Posted November 28, 2009 Welcome! Not tried coated strings yet. Love Rotobass 40s, they do what I need, AND they're cheap! Win-win. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
