I dig DA'darrio Chromes, good n bright for flats. Although, they may have a dead string problem, has any one else noticed or is it just me?

The title says it all. :bassist:;) Opps, meant D# not D3!

On my D string tuner, the part that you turn, there is a rattling mainly while playing the G string. How do I fix this? THKS:help:

I recently got a set of Chromes that seemed to have three dead strings, plus it seems I hear about more flatwounds having dud's :confused: Thanks

My SX is great, only it has dead notes on the G in 4 places.:crying: I was looking at various cheapo fretlesses with 5 strings. Could I just fix my SX, or what basses have no dead notes that cost less than $220?:confused::hiding::help:

Well, If you want roundwounds, you might try Hi-Beams. But I have a unique theory. The less you spend, the closer you are to retirement. The sooner you retire, the more time you have to get better at your instrument. So if you use flats, your frets will get eaten much more slowly. Plus flats...

You sir, are awesome! It seemed to have worked!:hyper: I'm such a fool for changing strings ( which helped )

My SX and Squier Deluxe are sick. For the Squier, it's the open A,E and B strings. for the sx, it's the A and B. I find that if I put a small amount of pressure on the string behind the nut, it stops. I looked all over the bass to find the rattleing, no luck. Thank you very...

I play an SX pretty much all the time in my church. It works just just fine for me, I have no shame! : )

Rotosound makes "Drop Zone" which can be gauges .135-65, or 175-85 I think.

I had the same do the same thing, just with a towel. About the strings, these are great!:bassist: Bright, but not to bright. You could even slap these! I found them to last 3 weeks, before the B and E went dead.:( Then I boil them and they sound new!:hyper: These are perhaps the perfect...
