The Bass Zone / Strings for Short scale
« on: August 12, 2009, 10:20:26 AM »
Considering changing the string on my Danos...right now they have real sweaty Ernie Ball roundwounds on them...
Have used Chromes (too high tension to slap--too artificial sounding in the midrange) and TI Jazz flats (loved everything about them except I kept breaking strings because they are 32 inch scale and had too much stuff wrapped around the tiny little posts) Dadarrio nickel rounds (liked slinkies better)
Am open to rounds or flats--they need to be lower in tension and relatively flexible to do what I do. They attraction to flats is that it would be nice to put 'em on and leave them for a couple of years.
I'm throwing it out to forum just because experimentation is so expensive...
Was considering GHS Precision flats or ? Maybe the real light Labellas? or Roto Trubass?
If I get slinkies again--it'll take weeks to get 'em to sound good.
Any ideas??
