Rotosound Swing Bass Stainless VS. Rotosound Solo Stainless Pressurewound 5-string?

Sign in to disble this ad
Anybody here ever tried both Rotosound Swing Bass Stainless and their Solo Bass Stainless Pressurewound on their 5-string? I've got Elixir Nanowebs on it now, and my B and E strings sound a bit hollow. I'm looking for something with more of a piano-like sound to it. Both of these string sets are stainless, but one has been pressurewound. Has anybody here used the strings?

If you're looking for piano-like tone, get the regular "Swing Bass" set. The pressure wounds are nice too, but more suited toward fretless instruments; they offer less fingerboard wear, but they're not as bright sounding...YMMV.

How is the tension? I'm looking for a tight B-string.
