Aloha, y'all!
So, I could use a lil' help here. I'm not normally a bass player, though I can hold it down pretty well when called upon. Well, I was called upon, landed me a nice steady gig and, well, its about time to change the 'ol strings.
My number one axe is a MINT Supro Pocket bass. You know the one... super-short-scale, "piezo" in the bridge...
Its got an ANCIENT set of (what I'm told are) La Bella tapewounds on there... someone tole me once they might even be stock, though I don't put much stock in that one. They've held up insanely well over the years, but with this new gig I think its about time for a change.
So.
Could any of you hard-core bassists out there help point a utility-man to a good set of super-short scale (25.5" scale!!!), ultra-light, ribbon/tape-wound strings?
Thanks!!!

(PS... Please spare me the rant on why you think these basses are awful. I'm a keyboardist. I gots sausage-fingers. But I know how to work an EQ. If you're a Supro skeptic, come out to a show and dig the tone. hahaha...) |
