string demo

After trying LaBella's Gold flats tuned down 1/2 step, I wanted to give their LTF a try as Im a fan of round-core strings. I'm mainly looking at their acoustic quality on ABG and how they compare with some of the other 'flats' I sampled; TIJF, Dogal Hellborg Flats, Aquilastrings Copper on...

First Impressions: G 0.047" or 1.19mm D 0.068" or 1.73mm broke 1" from tuner A 0.086" or 2.19mm E 0.109" or 2.76mm B 0.128" or 3.25mm The Labella 760 Gold flats are very similar (in feel) to the classic TIJF, though they're a touch stiffer, but a bit brighter (Im guessing to the 80/20 mix)...

Installation G .037” 0.94mm D .054” 1.34mm A .076” 1.93mm E .091” 2.32mm *silks delicate/ratty B .108” 2.74mm *silks delicate/ratty Ball to Silk length 36±” The wraps are nice smooth, but the B,E silks have much to be desired—they're a bit ratty out of the package. The...

I'm demo-ing a set of the Jens Schoenitz “polished" silver on nylon core strings. I found out about these strings while searching for a bass (and/or Luthier for a custom build). I was really excited about Jens’ Mummel and Zett basses, then happy to learn that he has also developed his own...

This has been along time coming... I received a set of Aquilastrings Round Spirals last ... Fall?? and Ive been meaning to post a demo for a while but work and family got in the way. Let me thank @Mimmo upfront for 1. sending me a pre-production set to demo 2. having incredible patience while...

I'll be comparing against TI Jazz Round/Jazz Flat/Acousticore, Dogal Hellborg, Fisoma 2716, Aquilastrings Copper on Bioplastic, GHS pressure bronze, Labella 'Olinto' flats/Black/Gold-White tapes, Galli Synthesis on my Furch SW5 ABG, piezo pickup. Im searching for a specific tone/feel, and all...

These are LaBellas new flats; 'fat-wound' on thin core. Theres plenty of EB samples out there. I'll be comparing against TI jazz round/jazz flat/acousticore, Dogal Hellborg, Fisoma 2716, Aquilastrings Copper on Bioplastic, GHS pressure bronze, Labella black/gold-white, Galli Synthesis on my...

Appearently Aquilastrings has a new offering for those of us that are looking for a supple flat ABG string. For me 'the battle' is finding the right combination of Volume/Tone/Feel. I want to try these along side: TI AcoutiCore JR, Dogal Helloborg, Fisoma F2716. Also curious how the copper wrap...

Basically a bass version of classical guitar strings. They come in a variety of mensure, tensions, and tunings (its little confusing on the site). Available from Lordofthestrings.com or Lenzner direct. I'll be comparing against TI jazz round/jazz flat/acousticore, Dogal Hellborg, GHS pressure...

Synthesis Flat I just ordered a set of these and started the thread for discussion. @HaphAsSard just turned me onto these strings over at the La Bella White vs Copper-White vs Gold-White? as Im eager to find the right set for my ABG with more of a nylon string sound than steel string sound...
