strings

Hey all, I have a Bleached Blonde that I currently have strung with the standard issue Warwick strings. I just picked up an 88 P bass with flats on it which is quickly becoming my "main squeeze". This is mainly because most of our sets are straight ahead classic rock (and lets face it...

im currently using D'Adarrio XL Nickel Round Wound 50-105 Regular Guage Long Scale Strings (EXL160TP) and im just wondering how often i should change to a fresh set.

anyone who knows how the DR jonas hellborg signature strings sound?

Greetings All - I just bought a used RockBass, Streamer 5 string. In fact it's not even arrived yet, but I was going to order some new strings for it, so when it gets here I could slap a new set of strings on it and give it a try. Except picking one up in a music store years ago, I've...

I've read and read and read and now have managed to thouroghly confuse myself. What is the difference between the DR Lo-Beams and Hi-Beams, and if I get a light 5 string set of any of the above, will the B string be tapered and fit on my Corvette Standard? I'm going for a warm...

Hey guys. I know it's been posted somewhere, but it didn't show up in my search. I was considering putting LaBella tapewounds on my Streamette for a Semi-Acoustic project that's come up. The mirrored P's already have a more muted tone than my ultra-aggressive 'Forts,but I'd like to try to get...

So I was browsing around the forum for ideas on new strings as I walked away from my home-state of Ohio with my first Warwick (which just so happened to be a floor model) and once I wiped all the greasy paw prints left behind from wishful thinkers, I began bashing her night and day. I just...

What are some strings worth checking out for a thumb 5 string? Any particular brand(s) complement the bass nicely? Should i stick with Warwick? I hate having to rely on the internet souly for these things. Unfortunately they don't let you pop open a pack of strings and try'em out in guitar...

Why even bother?...

so i changed to coated strings since i always lose the sound of new strings after 1, 2 weeks. the reason are my extreme acidic sweaty fingers. my prob now is that the coated strings are brown and dirty and i want to know how to keep them clean? i think boiling them of would be a prob so as an...

I found this red beauty on german ebay!If anyone is interested take look at this unique beast.I would say that this is really rare and valuble thing!!! Maybe someone can tell us more about it?Florin?

what make of string does everyone use?? I put warwick black labels on my fortress and i gotta say they didn't seem to warrent the £26 price tag. Also, how often do you think its necessary to restring??

Have used these strings exclusively for a number of years on my 4 string basses (40-60-80-100). They are available with round core rather than hex core, and sound and feel incredible. They seem to outlast conventional strings, and are extremely well made. ( I started using them when I played...

Has anyone tried it? I've heard of boiling strings and that it doesn't really helped. I researched and found this site that told me another way which is basically making a container out of PVC pipe, filling it with Methylated spirits and letting the strings soak for 12-24 hours. I just...

just to let you know...i'm putting my warwick tuner back on for now...
