    Double Bass About a possible replica of the Kaplan Golden Spiral gut strings

    Thanks; however the gut core strings wrapped with flat nylon are not designed for bluegrass. The gut core is moisture and temperature sensitive. It is normal. You should employ instead the Sugar Slaps, that it it the right set and does not have a flat nylon. The G you are employing is a exact...

    Double Bass About a possible replica of the Kaplan Golden Spiral gut strings

    . Thanks Keith about your report. In the beginning our slap's set was with an E plain Sugar string charged with copper powder. After a while I had huge problems to make it again so I was obliged to introduce a normal round wound E string. Then I developed this new technology and I am very...

    I was at the NAMM show. I meet Marco Panascia; we had a very nice and useful discussion/excange about my replica of the Kaplan Golden Spiral of Charlie H. and the Red -o -Rey of Scott LaFaro. I like him lot; I have realized that he has a lot of passion dedicated to Jazz. Then he tried our new...

    Double Bass About a possible replica of the Kaplan Golden Spiral gut strings

    I taken the decision to stop their production because they are exactly the Gold springs synthetic BUT with a red core. It is a merely cosmetic choice (people get easily confused). In the beginning I was aimed to imitate the mythical Red - op Ray that are red. Mimmo

    Double Bass About a possible replica of the Kaplan Golden Spiral gut strings

    !6 and 22 has the same construction; the difference is that 22 has a sound a bit less bright than the 16, hence the 22 are suggested for the upper strings that imitate gut strings, Instead 16 are suitable for the upper strings that are wound flat metal. Ciao Mimmo

    Acoustic Bass String Innovations: Aquila Flat Spirals and Round Spirals

    Double Bass About a possible replica of the Kaplan Golden Spiral gut strings

    Here is, guys, the correct procedure that need in order to install the G and D of The Gold Spirals Vintage; Gold Spirals Synthetic; Red Spirals. The goal is only one: to avoid that the thin Nylon threat will be cut by the nut or by the peg hole that act like a cutter upon the thin flat nylon...

    Double Bass About a possible replica of the Kaplan Golden Spiral gut strings

    ah! This is fantastic as I have no reports form the very first players. In any case I will do the QR code so that there are no risks during the installation. Mille grazie!

    Double Bass About a possible replica of the Kaplan Golden Spiral gut strings

    Hello guys, I have to say a few things about the G and D strings that employ a flat nylon wrapped upon the core (both synthetic or genuine gut): many players are not experts on how to install them properly. I explain: a good percentage of players are younger than 60; the common practice is...
