First, I want to say a big thank you to all you TBers out there!
I've been away for awhile and it's great to be back.
I had a problem with a new bass - Peavey G V. The B string didn't have the "Piano-like" sustain and clarity of the other strings. I went through the usual litanny of tightening the tuners, checking the nut, locking down the bridge, and still a big difference in the B.
I did some searching found some very useful info:
35" scale doesn't automatically mean a tight and great B string.
The Peavey Graphite neck is made of softer composite stuff than
my modulus - meaning the B isn't quite up to the modulus B.
Taper Core strings can really help a B string.
After some experimentation and searching the archives, I found a combination that seems to work very well - only a taper core B. I've got some Ken Smith Rock Bass Lights on all but the B, where I've got a Conklin Snakeskin (D'addario SR2000 I think) taper core.
It seems I've achieved a perfect balance between strings.
I've got some more setup to do on this bass (the rock bass lights require quite a bit less tension than the set of snakeskins did), but I'm very pleased with the results and all the help the archives were.
I think my next string change will try one of the MTD sets that has the tapercore on the B string only (I *think* it was MTD that had that setup.).
Thanks again!
Thanks TBers! B String Problem Solved!
