    Dogal Hellborg Strings

    Additional reflection after playing some more. They are lacking snap in the attack. I would describe it as a mellow attack, very even and controlled. Good sustain. The marketing department would probably phrase it that they "sing". Have only played at home, "bedroom" style, yet. Will play...

    Dogal Hellborg Strings

    It took a while for me to get to restring the B string on my bass after I got it delivered to me. But yesterday I finally got around to do it. I was able to attach the new Dogal string without any mishaps, which feels great. Due to the lighter gauge and less tension, a truss rod adjustment and...

    Dogal Hellborg Strings

    That is my worry! I will be quite nervous putting on the new B string. Also agree with that I would really like them to work. Would like to evaluate them properly during a period.

    Dogal Hellborg Strings

    I got a quick follow-up reply a day later, and they are sending me a new B string. They also asked me if I have a through body system for the strings, which I do. I am not sure if that is problematic or not?!

    Dogal Hellborg Strings

    I also purchased directly from Dogal, and contacted them via the info address. I attached an image of the broken string, and referenced the order number. But even if I've gotten a reply, i haven't got any answers. My email was only forwarded to the tech department. I haven't heard from them yet.'

    Dogal Hellborg Strings

    I got a reply from Dogal today, and they have forwarded my complaint to the tech department. 24 hours for first reply is good to me. Let's see what tech says.

    Dogal Hellborg Strings

    Hi all, Been following this thread from a distance, but the concept of the Hellborg strings caught my interest. First a comment on the Dogal communication. I emailed them asking for a 5+1 string order of the Hellborg strings. I never got a reply, but a while later a six string package showed...

    The pedal that’s either too loud or too quiet.

    Having a compressor after it could help with taming the volume, and evening it out between effect on/off. Do you use a compressor today? Cheers, Karl

    Making a bass sound like a not-bass, but what should that sound be?

    Fun at the rehearsal space a long time ago. Never used the idea in a context, but entertained myself at least.

    HPF. Why is there only a couple of options.

    Ok, so I only read the last part of this thread. Apologies if this doesn't suit the discussion. I use the Broughton H+LPF. It works wonders! As with compressors, I think the biggest point with high and low pass filters is how it affects the mix. How the bass and other instruments sound...
