Grounds/Halfwounds for 6-String

Sign in to disble this ad
Looking for groundwounds or halfwounds for my Bongo6 fretless. All I found on Juststrings.com were D'addarios. Any other sources I might be overlooking?

Those are the only ones I know, I had a set on my SR-506.

GHS Brite Flats or Ken Smith Slick Rounds (I think they are the same strings). Use single strings from juststrings to complete a set.

I liked the D'Addarios decently well. I recently put some Chromes on the same bass and liked them even better, but then I was going for a very mellow sound with zero string noise and nothing does that like flats.

You can build a Chromes 6-string set from Just Strings but you have to buy the high-C separate.

Thanks. I've Chromes on my Essex P right now and dig 'em. ...just preferring a bit more pianoish sound for this instrument, but would rather stay away from rounds.
That said, if I choose to go w/flats, I may just order the Thomastiks, just because it's been years since I last used them.
