Tapered B & E

boyet · #1 07-03-2009, 07:30 PM

I'm currently on the lookout

for a set with a tapered B & E.

Anybody here with suggestions? Which set of DR's has these 2 string tapered?

Looks like a standard problem.
Dean Markley SR2000 may I suggest. The hole set is tapered but the G and higher.

Thanks for the suggestion David. I'll Check 'em out.

Any other suggestions or recommendations?

Fender offers strings that have a tapered B and E. I've used them and didn't think they were half bad although I love DR Strings.

Grab yourself a set of Ken Smith Burners and you'll never look back. The sets that have the "TC" suffix are taper cores.

DR long neck's are tapered on the B and E. That's what I use.

+1 on the Fender SuperBass 8250s set. Nickelplated steel. 45, 65, 85, 110tw, 130tw.
Sound great, last pretty long, and aren't expensive.

DR's Five string set is DRS_TMH-45

Long Neck Hex Core

BTW; I wonder why DR doesn't make tapered round core?

Intonation issues?

Hope this helps,
