Do any gold/bronze/brass (whatever) colored strings exist for an electric bass? I know that brass strings are readily available for acoustic basses but I have been looking for something similar for an electric bass...Thanks in advance for any help anyone can offer. |

JustStrings has them too but their price is way too expensive.
However,these strings are great in every aspect,I use them extensively....just do a search in this forum's section and you'll find more references about it.
Regards,

Give me plain ol' silver anyday. |

They were great. They were the XLReds.
Don't know if you can find them anylonger.
