Ive been experimenting with different kinds of SS strings lately, and run into High Beams. These things feel great, and I understand the great feel comes from the round core vs. hex. Does anybody know any other strings that are SS with round core that I can try. FYI I us 40-95 Thanks
These are made at the same factory, but Christian Olsson @ UNICORNbass is in hold of the specs and he sells round and hex core.
These are fantastic strings, the only brand i use for now.
Status Hotwires come in either hex- or round-core designs. I've got sets of the hex 50-110 on my JazzRay and L2000, sound and feel really nice. Not quite as much tension as the Rotosound 66's (of the same gauge) on my P and not quite as aggressive.
Update: Just tried Roto 66 for a week. Didnt really think they sounded all that musical, and tough to play. IMO Now trying Blue Steels (again). I think they sound better than the Roto 66, and similar to DR Lowriders that I liked pretty well, but I think so far my overall favorite SS string, is DR Highbeams. Would love to hear your thoughts.
