Yea..... out of desperation, I have been going crazy looking for strings of my preference. I love the kick that stainless steels give, but even though they are tougher, the damned G string goes bland on me....I like the feel on Nickel, but the kick is missing....do you know any brands (good for 5 stringed basses) that have a good feel, and yet keep the beautiful kick?

| | Registered User | | Join Date: Dec 1999 Location: Lancaster, PA | | | I recently tried the TI powerbass. LOVE THE B. I love the even volume and tone across the neck, but I am just looking for more tone. (I dislike the sound of nickle) My favorite strings are month+ old roto sound swing bass. However the B string sucks. I think its the higher tension. I wish TI made stainless strings.
