| | Registered User | | Join Date: Sep 2000 Location: UK, Essex | | | What are the tension of these like by the way. I quite like the idea of coloured strings but they on come in 45's. I use Warick black label 40's on my Warick and Roto Billy Sheehan 43 - 110's on my OLP traben (loosely based on a PJ type bass).
I know the black labels are quite high tension, if the DR's are softer, I might be able to get away with them.

| | Registered User | | Join Date: May 2007 Location: niles, mi | | | personally... i'm using the red ones on my black bass... they look wonderful (i think)... and they're a lot darker red than i thought they would be (i had been using black strings... but decided i wanted some colour instead.)
i think i'll just be switching back and forth between the two colours on tour when i have to change strings.

I don't particalularly spend an inordinate amount on strings (which lets face it, these aren't a cheap set of strings) if I have to take a pair of pliers to them to get them in my warwick's bridge.

I play metal and experimental solo stuff. Does it fit visually? Who cares. |
