    Seeking advice regarding setting up balanced string set

    Hello, I installed a set of D’Addario EXL220BT (40-95) with a .130 low B from them too to get a balanced 5 string set on my Sire V5 jazz bass. I was replacing DR FatBeam 45-125. Those strings were dying and I had been unhappy with the low B sounding different from the rest of the set. So I...

    Daddario EXL160BT Balanced Tension standard tuning

    Hey peeps, anyone tried the Daddario EXL160BT (50-67-90-120) balanced tension strings in standard tuning? The bass guitar should be able to take it, right? I mean the balanced tension means that, right, that the overall tension is the same as in other setups (in standard tuning) so it shouldn't...

    Balanced Tension Flats or Tapewounds

    Do balanced tension flats or tapewounds exist? I've been thinking of changing one of my P's to a flat/tapewound set up because I just turned 30 and want to get head start on my future.

    D'Addario questions: XL (45-100) vs XL BT (40-95)

    I put EXL170s on my Lakland jazz bass and I like em a lot. I like the tension, playability, sound and feel of that set. The only other thing I wish they were, that they were a bit more balanced across the strings. Two questions: 1. How does the tension compare between: 40-95 XL BT (EXL220BT)...

    coated strings with balanced or progressive tension?

    After looking through the forum and doing my own research I'm pretty sure that the strings I want/need don't really exist. I'd like balanced or progressive tension with a 040 G string, so that's something like 040 055 075 100 135, for example. Furthermore I'd like coated strings since I've come...

    Balanced tension strings on ABG with under saddle piezo helps volume issues

    Balanced Tension Flats?

    I am a big fan of balanced tension strings for BG. For at least a year I have used balanced rounds on my 5 string and have really enjoyed having even tension, particularly on the E and B strings. My other bass is a 4 string P/J which I prefer to string with flats. For the longest time, to my...

    Balanced Tension sets and string height

    I've always wondered, with balanced tension sets generally you have thinner A and D strings compared to standard sets, so with balanced tension sets do you raise the A and D strings more than you normally would?
