Maybe just stick to flats ? I'm sure there are some bright, deep sounding stainless flats somewhere that won't murder your fingers. But if you go through two sets of Rotos, you'll develop the callouses and won't have to worry about strings hurting your fingers ever again.
PS: Strings that can do dinner jazz usually cannot do punkrock, unless you love to eq your signal. This is why I like to have multiple basses for multiple purposes. |
hm, i DO like flats but i HATE the sound of flats played with a pick .... its too beatles to me ;-) (dont get me wrong i like the beatles ;-)
that ill have a lot to eaqualize is sth that i know and am able to do.
its "only" the bass for my coverbandgigs with dinnerjazz in the evening and funk reggae rock in the nights AND upright slap rockabilly :-)
so my fingers are pretty "tough" but i just dont like the rough feeling the warwicks for example have !!!
.... and i have enough to carry at gigs (1 guitar,1 bass,1 upright, amps micstuff etc)
i think i give the dr black beauties and some edding marker pen a try :-) (i did like the coated dr)
what about those ? FENDER 9120 Nylon Tape Wound or FENDER 7120 Nylon Filament (do they sound "punky" / harsh enough with a pick?)
...but really guys ! big thanks to all of you ! you always help me out a lot !!!!!
