The intent was to counterbalance the scooped sound of my SR5HH.
They sound "new" but not any different than the factory EBMM slinky that came with the bass. |

|  | Don't feed the troll, folks. | | Join Date: Jan 2011 Location: Camarillo, CA | | | The last time I tried one of those Bronco amps, I was seriously disappointed by the major lack of midrange. Are you allergic to nickel? If not, you could try a hybrid or alloy set like Circle K's or the Ernie Balls mentioned earlier. I run Circle K's on my 4 string, they have all the snap, shimmer, and detail of SS with the warm midrange of nickels. They are a little lower tension than some other brands, tho.

The stainlesses are excellent anyway, but the nickels have a slightly more rounded tone, and (I'm told) are easier on the fingertips.
Rounded relative to Rotosound, anyway - there's still no shortage of midrange honk and growl!

My favourite steelwounds are the Warwick Red Labels. They feel pretty rough and kill your frets but they sound absolutely insane. | | Thread Tools | Search this Thread | | | |
