Strings: La Bella, Rotosound, flats and tapes

[narwhale]

I've been on a bit of a string exploring journey the past month or two and ended up about where I started, so now I have a few sets of installed but barely used strings. All prices are Paypal and shipped:

-La Bella Jamerson original 1954 Flats- Cut and installed on bridge-through P-bass sold

Rotosound RS88LD Tapewound- Cut and installed on bridge-through P-bass. sold

Rotosound RS77S Shortscale Flats- Cut and installed on Dano Longhorn (2+2 headstock)- $20

Rotosound RS88S Shortscale Tapewound- Cut and installed on Dano Longhorn (2+2 headstock)- $20

I'm interested in La Bella flats (I loved the Jamersons but found the tension a little too much for me) so if anyone has some Deep Talkin' flats in 104, 105, or 109 I'll be happy to trade.

How did the Roto tapes sound on the P? Did you have to file the nut?

Sorry guys, both long-scale sets are now sold. Negativeions, the RS88 sound very deep on the P. I liked the fact that they were such a large gauge because they were very close in tension to what I'm used to (medium Chromes). I didn't have to file the nut on my "P" (actually an Electra from the 80s but same idea). I liked them- they were very mellow and sounded great on the quieter stuff I played, but they aren't the kind of things I would use on my only P. I needed more versatility for the rockier things I play in my band, so they had to go.

Jamersons gone?

Yes.
