strings

I recently bought a Warwick RB Alien Deluxe 5 fretless and really like it but am having a bit of trouble with the set up. I decided to try tape wounds and added some La Bella 750N-B Deep Talkin' Bass Black Nylon Tape Wounds – .050, .065, .085, .105, .135. I really like how the strings feel but...

hey guys, hows it going? i just have a question about something to do with strings. i have a warwick thumb bass...its beautiful, sounds like angels and demons at the same time sometimes and i will cherish it forever. the sound is obviously the main thing i wanna bring up here. as you...

This one is self explanatory, I have fallen in love with the feel and balance of D'addario Slowounds, unfortunately they retailed for like 90 bucks here :eek: and they have been discontinued ages ago. I might have access to a couple more packs (at 70 bucks a pop :( ) but thats it. SOOOO is...

Hi again everyone, Here's another string question for everyone. Who out of everyone has tried some lesser known brands? Who has stuck with them? Has anyone purposely gone out to try and find something outside the norm? I'm asking as I'm waiting for a set of Dark Horse strings to come in to...

Afternoon All, Hope someone can help....... I've recently started using Warwick Black Labels and have noticed a strange "rattle" on the E string, it sounds like the core is loose inside?? I've not heard this before in 25 years of playing so i have no idea if it is a loose core but that's...

Here's the story, being an combination of clumsy, unlucky and with a a tendency to do dumb stuff i end up with lots of little cuts. often on my fingers. This happened this very morn, gash across the tip of my left index, with rehearsal this eve. crap. :confused: i ended up putting a bandaid on...

As you guys probably know, I'm mostly a fretless player, and so it won't be a surprise that I prefer flatwound strings. Re-reading the last Warwick newsletter I see that they also say flatwounds make a good choice for fretless basses. But as far as I can see, Warwick don't actually make any...

Goodevening gentlemen, I've got a question for my knowledge appetite. I'm undecided between a classical light gauge .45 .65 .80 .100 set and a medium .50 .70 .85 .105 set, both flatwounds for my Thumb NT. I wonder what could be the true differences in terms of sound, response and feel. Can you...

Hey guys! I've found a couple interesting threads about everyones' favorite strings for their Warwicks. It seams like the Warwick Blacks and DRs are the most popular. I have a question about Warwick strings specifically, though. What is the difference in the colors? There seem to be...

Hello, my first post on the site. I got a used Corvette $$ 4-string a few weeks ago and am trying to get it setup so I can use it. Pickup height is one of my biggest questions. Some background: I play technical metal finger-style. I used to play with a pick but switched to fingers a couple...

So, I have been using the .175 Dark Lord string tuned to G for a couple of my basses, and I am very happy with both sound and feel. I used to buy them from this seller on eBay for a reasonable price, but with the dealer change from DBG, he is no longer able to get'em. So, I look to the Warwick...

went GC the other day and asked if they had the warwick EMP strings. no, they said but we have these cleartone EMP's.... still high on price($34) but cheaper then the warwicks. might give them a try when it comes time to change the EMP's

Hi guys! Has anyone here ever played with a modern SSll (2000 and up) and an older one like a early 90's version (handmade) ? If so, how would they differ soundwise, playabilitywise ? Would you consider them of better quality overall ?

is a 15mm strings spacing normal for the 5 strings corvette ? I have played almost 20 years with my 4 strings yamaha BB 1600 (19mm strings spacing) and the corvette is, well... weird! Just wondering if these are the standard specs

Ahhh, what the heck..........I was changing some strings and wouldn't know it? The bridge nut fell off and the spacer fell off with it. No tools or adjustment stuff around either. Got it home. Noticed that I could not get the spacer and the bridge nut back and also the truss cover plate...

What does Warwick fit as standard string wise to the Corvette std when they leave the factory, and do many stay with these strings, or are they thought of as less than?

Is it possible to get a CS Warwick bass in 6 string if they dont normally make that model in 6 string version? e.g: Is is possible to get either a Vampyre, Fortress or Infinity in 6 or even 7 string?

I used to purchase single F# strings from the DarkLord series of strings, but now I can't seem to find them anywhere, have they been discontinued along with the bass?

hello, i was thinking of buying a set of their strings. I was looking for a really light guage strings, which they had but the gauges were 25-35-60-70 could you tune that to standard G D A E?

Hey all, just needing some help with my string choice. my infinity is strung with d'addario nickel round wound strings and i really love the bright sound, but i'm terribly lazy, and am lucky to change my strings often. Only when i have to record or when the scum buildup gets embarrassingly...
