:) Sorry, it's a mistranslation. Both keyboard and fingerboard translate to "tastiera" in Italian.

It seems a setup issue to me. I use them on a fretted bass with no issue, and rather had the opposite problem (too distant from keyboard) until I mitigated using the truss rod.

I'm still using them. I confirm a tension higher than I would like and short sustain when the string is not played open. Intonation is very stable after a very short settling. The sound is very nice.

They are not. There's a short review I wrote on this thread a while ago.

The E string of my Aquila Thunder Reds broke after one year. I decided to try them, I put them on my Exotic Mahogany yesterday evening, so that's just the first impressions. The strings have a nice sound. With tone setting you can vary from a double-bass-like sound, somewhat similar to the...

Stay tuned...

Yes. And yet after two months no review or demo, save the promotional video on YouTube.

After two months, did anybody try those and is willing to review them?

As for Shortbassone loudness: I played the previous version unamplified along several soprano ukuleles, and it was loud enough. The new version should be even louder.

I'm surprised no one posted about this: Invalid Link Removed Once I played one of early models and totally fell in love with it.

Ok, what about the sound of Reds compared to Blacks? Because tension and tendency to roll should be about the same. Do they only differ in sound and color, don't they? And reds sound is better for you?

Can you please explain a little more? Reds are better sounding but Thunder Blacks are the best one? Why? Thanks.

This is what I found about Galli UXB 810. Does anyone know what is the white thing on the saddle? I thought about a protection for different tension, but in other photos or videos there is nothing on the bridge. I asked them on their Facebook page but they're closed for summer. I also wonder...

I phoned Aquila when they came out, they told me they are exactly the same as Thunderguts, excluding color.

Did anybody try Galli UBX 810 Blacknylon or Dogal UBS162 metal strings? Any review or audio sample, or comparison with, for example, Pyramid? I could not find much online.

Aquila thunder reds strings have an even volume.

Just my two cents. I think it is needed because the strings are "flappy" and must be played with strokes towards the bass for loudest sound. Of course with metal strings I would find it definitely too high.

I got my refund from Thomann (thank you, Thomann) and bought the exotic mahogany ubass. I just replaced the Pahoehoe strings with Thunder Reds: this is my feedback in case someone needs it. They are definitively louder: using a sound level meter, without any pretense of being scientific, I got...

I sometimes practice with my wife without amp, with a soprano ukulele and her voice, so loudness is important to me: the Silver were barely acceptable for that use.

Yes. I like the black strings on mahogany body, I don't know if I will like the red. Yes, I know many think that. I played without amplification, so I did not notice the Pahoehoe do not make the noise. As for "cold", I talked about a tactile feeling, not sound at all: they're harder and colder...

While still waiting for approval of my refund, I could finally try a UBASS-EM-FS, which I liked more than my Rumbler. Being in a store, I am sure I will get no surprise. What I found, on a side-by-side comparison with the Rumbler, is that I think strings on the Rumbler (Aquila Silver, which...

I asked Kala, which pointed me to Warwick, which pointed me to Thomann, from whom I bought it. They are still examining my email and (many) photos, but they are experiencing delays in support. Anyway, Warwick support wrote me it could be eligible for warranty replacement. Kohanmike, thank you...

Hello. This is what I noticed today: a crack on the head. My bass has never fallen or been hit. Should I worry it will eventually break? What can be the cause of that? Do you think I may ask for a warranty replacement? Thank you.

I don't think I read this elsewhere, so I want to share my finding. Please forgive me if it's already in the hundreds of pages of this thread. The A string on my Rumbler was out of tune: if I tuned it open, it was flat on V fret. If I tuned on V fret, it was sharp when played open. The other...

Can you please add some details? AFAIK, the tone knob simply controls the cutoff frequency of a lowpass filter. Is this right? How is the lowpass filter you're talking about different? Maybe a steeper slope?

Is it different from using the tone knob?

It didn't take five minutes, but much much more, because understanding what to do was not so immediate! Your solution is indeed better, if you are not worried of warranty. And as I said it's because I have a small hand. And you're right it's bad design. To contain the damage I also enlarged the...

Hello everyone, I just received my fretted Rumbler, and I think it's wonderful. I have a question: did anyone try the new Aquila Thunderblack? Are they the same as (Aquila-made) Kala Silver Rumbler, just rebranded, or they are more "sticky" like they say Thundergut are?

I was able to tighten the plug of my just-arrived Rumbler without having to cut anything. I loosened the strings, then inserted my (small) hand into the soundhole and kept the jack plug still from the inside while unscrewing the external pin and underlying nut. Then I screwed the inside nut with...
