Pressurewound / Compressed .50 -.110?

[Groover]

Are there any Pressurewounds or Compressed rounds in the .50 - .110 gauge? I've looked at GHS and Ken Smith, but none there... what else is there like that that I can try looking for?

DR makes compression wound strings in 50-110.

I can't seem to find them in these lists... are they DR?

Okay, DR makes some compression wound strings in 50-110. They're the first entries on the Lo Rider/Hi Beam

Good eye! Thanks, I may try those heavy Hi-Beams. I already have the Low-Riders Heavy on a Jazz bass and I love em. Was hoping to match my P by using Low Rider Nickels, and of course they don't make a Heavy set... lol

FYI- DR "compression winding" is not the same thing as KS or GHS. They will feel and sound nothing like your Compressors or Pressurewounds. DRs play and sound like straight-up rounds. They are really bright out of the package, and much rougher to the touch.

EDIT: You are already playing DRs, so I'm sure you know already.

Ah... ok, I see... Probably not what I'm looking for then.

I really do like the GHS pressurewounds and Ken Smith, but their gauges are a little odd. I need to fatten up my D and G, and their gauges thin them on my bass - otherwise, perfect feel and tone IMO.

I believe SIT makes compression wound, called Silencers if I remember right. Not sure what gauges though.

4 different gauges.
