    For sale GHS boomers heavy gage bulks 11 sets

    Bought these directly from GHS, 12 sets of regular boomers 50,70,85, 105 however I am convinced that the 105 is actually a 110. I used 1 set, installed 1 set on a P bass for a day. The other 10 sets are unopened/unused. You get 11 sets here.

    String sound consistancy

    Hey All, Im sure this has probably been talked about but ive not been able to find a conversation. I am currently using GHS Boomers I have noticed a distinct difference in the sound of the E string when fretted at the A and the A string open. I like the deep full sound of the fretted E. The...

    Which bass strings go dead the fastest?...

    Most of my basses have different strings and I've noticed that the loss of initial brightness varies wildly from one set to another. Thankfully, I don't really mind dead strings at all but I wanted to know what you guys thought the strings were that are most prone to this. I feel like GHS...

    I might be getting some-eeeeek-roundwounds! Recs?

    I've been a dedicated flats user for a couple of years, but I recently got a Tagima J Bass. I initially put Dunlop 40-100 Flats on it, but I felt that it sounded a little tame and hollow, and the strings were a lighter than I prefer. I replaced the Dunlops with GHS Precision Flats 45-105, and...

    Boomers- round or hex?

    pretty much sums it up? Looking for boomers for strong mids and relatively high tension. Was gonna go with the OG hex core, but curious if users have any opinions on the newer round core version, compared to the original set. Looking at 5 string med set. thx

    In search of a better Boomer

    I finally worked my way back around to nickel rounds and figured I would give ghs Boomers a shot. I instantly loved the tone even as they mellowed out, delivering solid low mids and a bright-but-not-brittle high end. They've been on my bass for maybe a month or so and just died out of the blue...

    Looking for strings brighter than Boomers...

    ... they have to be rounds, and medium gauge 4 string sets... Ideally, I won't lose the low end punch of my Boomers, and they won't cost an arm and a leg - but I'm certainly willing to entertain any and all suggestions... These strings are intended for my Gibson basses - a T-bird and an SG...

    Identify these old strings (boomers?)

    I picked up an old bass, the strings have been on there for ages. This bass just has a sound to it that I love - it's throaty (hard to describe a sound) it speaks like James Earl Jones' voice. The bass still sounds great with new strings but doesn't have that same throaty sound - but when I...

    GHS Boomers!

    Have pretty much always had flats on my basses (2 Fender Precisions), but wanted to mix it up a bit and have one bass with flats and the other with rounds. Went through Fender 7250, D'Addario XL's and GHS Boomers. Long story short, the GHS Boomers are my favorites. D'Addario's are too bright...

    GHS Short Scale Boomers Problem...

    So, I have been using GHS short scale Boomers on the bass that I down-tune because they offer a set in 50 - 107 and they are high enough tension to drop tune. BUT, it seems they've recently changed their short scale bass string to a medium scale bass string--or I should say a "string through...
