What kind of half-rounds or ground-rounds are there for a 35" 5-string bass? I know D'Addario makes some, but I've read they go dead quickly. Who else makes some? |

I'm going to order a set of Silencers tonight - I'll let you know how they sound. That should give you an idea of how they'd sound on your 55-02. |

* Actually I like compressed wound better than ground, for brightness yet smooth feel. |
