Heavy guage stainless steel strings

NKBassman · #1 08-12-2010, 11:03 AM

Does anybody know where I could find a 4 string set of stainless steel strings in a 55-115 or 60-120 guage? We jamming in C standard right now and I miss my old Rotosound tone!

I've looked at the DR DDT strings, but I'm not sure if they're stainless or nickle...

Alright I got my standard guages all messed up.

Anything with a 55/60 G and a 120/125 E, stainless steel, not a 5 string set.

Hmmm good call! I'll check those out as well.
Thanks.

Emailed DR and the DDT bass strings are stainless steel.

I don't like the tone or really the feel of the DDTs, but they do their job well, of tuning low and holding that tuning.

Circle K can hook you up also.

What Rotosounds did you play before?

Buy a 5-string set and keep the G-string set aside.

"keeping the G string set aside" is the same as throwing it out in my case. I have never broken a string in 10 years of playing.

Ordered a set of DDT strings from Long and McQuade yesterday. Should be here in a couple of weeks.

What's the deal with Circle K strings? Somebody educate me.
