strings

Hi, i was just wondering about something: i started playing bass a few months ago (with a 5 string) but since i have become a warwick addict i wanted to have a bass built in the CS. The most "sexiest" bass for me is certainly a 6string broad neck Streamer...but i was just asking myself the...

Ok, so far we have: Well, a Thumb NT... Let's see, How many strings should our Thumb have?

Hi guy, I took my Streamer I 5 to the store to check the output problem, they told me my Bartolini PU is passive, the SD circuit on the bass is active.........WTF. I got this bass like that for years.......the ex-owner should be a careless person.... The problem is I had took out the...

This is a video of how most of us break strings, and recover. About 3 minutes into it. good stuff! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9tg4okrbYVE :D :shock:

I want to hear your opinions on that.

Hi Guy, The Taiwanese come again. My first Warwick bass is Thumb NT 5, she likes new strings so bad, if I don't give her new strings, the slapping tone will sound like a US150 bass, my friend said his Corvette is the same, but I think the his Corvette is better on this, sometime I went to...

I've tried setting up my thumb myself after letting someone do it and them leaving me with a completely flat neck--no relief whatsoever. So, I set the relief to what the manual said and lowered the bridge leaving me with the amount of space the manual said should be between the e and g strings...

So...which strings do you use on your warwick bass? I'm trying to fatten my tone and that seems the cheapest way to do it. I'm currently using d'addario exl170...I like the fact they're smooth and cheap (lol) but they sound a bit 'weak'. Maybe dr fat beams would do it (it has fat in the name...

OK.... so three weeks ago I buy a brand new set of EMPs. The set that were on were just dead. String up and was once again blown away by the tone and feel. Three days later, the string breaks between the nut and the machine head. It was at pitch, wasn't tuned up... during this period I...

Hi , It is the first time that I play Warwick strings....I love the sound...but they are hard on my fingers..... Does the EMP have the same sound & feel a little better under my fingers? What about the DR Black Beauties? Any opinions?

I have a lovely wenge/bubinga ’92 Thumb neck-thru. I tend to break strings – always have, I just assumed it was my heavy-handed playing. However lately I’ve also been playing a Fender Jazz ’62 reissue and have had the same strings for ages with no breaks. First time I picked up the Thumb at last...

Hi all there, I have my Fortress 5 string fretless Rockbass since a week and a half, and - after half a year waiting for it - it turns out to be a very pleasing experience. I expected to have a rather long learning curve learning to play it, but it plays like nothing, so smooth. Just had a...

Hi just wondered how the ball-ends of the strings are supposed to sit in the string anchor... It's common to put them in with the hole upright, like this: I used to do so, too but this time I rotated the strings 90°: The wire that runs around the ball-end doesn't cut in the anchor...

So I've never had good results w/ boiling strings until now: Dead DR Longnecks boiled for ten minutes w/ a few drops of Dawn dish washing liquid. WOW, like new and heller bright again! This is the first time I've boiled DR's and the first time I've used a detergent, but one or the other...

hello. my name is augusto. i´m new in this forum. i found it trying to get help in internet. i´m sorry my english is not pretty good, but i´m from nicaragua, and here we don´t have much places to find help about this kind of stuff. a couple of month ago i bought a 5string corvette standard...

Hey! Anyone tried the Framus Bass Strings? They're SOOO cheap, like 7 Euros for a 4 string set. They're nickel. I want to buy a set, any good?

Hmm, searched, but didn't find anything..could of been how I searched as well. :roll: On a fretless, I used Nylon tape wounds years ago for a nice muddy sound. But here and now I want to keep my neck safe and have some decent sustain as well. So what is the recommendation for a 5 string...

My 2001 Thumb LTD was strung with Ernie Ball .045 - .105 strings and was free of fret buzz with the factory string height (2mm between the G string & 24th fret, 2.5mm between the E string & 24th fret). I just restring it with DR Lo-Rider .040 - .100 because I want to get snappy tones. The...

What can you guys tell me about Ernie Ball Nickel Slinkies? And Daddario strings? I haven't changed the strigns on my bass since I got it about 8 months ago. I've read on here that the Black Labels give the famous growl, but I'm turned off by the responses of them being rough on the fingers...

Does anybody know anything about these Bronze Warwick Strings? Are they new acoustic bass strings or something? I just spotted them on ebay.de...
