Fellow TBers...
Although I would ordinarily cringe at the sight of yet another "vs." thread, here is one case where it would seem appropriate - at least to me...
In about two weeks, I'll be taking delivery of a nice new fretless four-string, and would like to use either groundwounds or compression-wounds on her. I've used Half Rounds - but way,
way back in the day - and on a fretted P-bass - for that nice subdued dub tone. Much more recently, I've used Nickel Lo-Riders - but again, on a fretted four-string - this time a Carvin LB70...
Both are nice strings IMO, but I haven't used either on a fretless - and certainly haven't compared them against each other on a fretless. What would you say would be the main points of comparison and/or distinction between the two? Can anyone speak from experience?
Thanks...
MM
P.S. I might add that they're both available in an extra light gauge - .095-.075-.060-.040 - for direct comparision of apples to apples...
