Has anyone tried this set? Their website lists tension measurements, but the diameters are missing. I'm very curious to know the diameters....does anyone know?
BSN920 L-Synthetic & Bronze
Depending on what the string diameters end up being, they seem like a potential replacement for the Velvet...
For sale is a set of practically new handmade gut strings by Gerold Genssler. They are less than a week old and are the RWJ line of strings. I used to really like gut strings, but I got a new bass recently and realize they aren't great on this new instrument. They've only been on a few days...

Gerold Genssler HELIX bass strings in mint condition! I ordered two sets of Genssler's (Helix and J-Roques) to see what model works best for my instrument. I fell in love with the J-Roques and will not bee needing the Helix's. The E, A and G were on my bass for 15 minutes, and the D wasn't...

Hi.
my name is Bas (I know…)
i’m new here, but after searching through old posts I could’d find an answer to my question.
I’ve been playing Velvet Garbo D and G strings for many years now (playing jazz), and I was always very happy with them. Maybe not so much with the D, but definitely the...
Great strings in good shape, not in production anymore...loud LOUD L O U D A** strings
You know what you're looking at. I've got too many strings and not enough basses...
White sticky string ties are not on the strings.

I’ve heard from other forums that the Velvet Amina G has sort of a different texture, like almost a round wound feeling. Can anyone confirm this, and if so does anyone know a g string that pairs well with animas? Maybe the oliv G?
I've got 2 of the D strings. One is in the manufacturer's packaging, the other was taken out of full set packaging by String Emporium and sold as singles, which is how I got them. They are both brand-new, unplayed, untouched. Price is per string. Thank you!

Does anyone have any thoughts on what would pair well to create a hybrid set with an old broken in set of E & A Anima strings?
Unfortunately, I broke my D String on my beloved set of Animas and now that velvet is out of business I can't replace them.
My other option would be to buy a whole new...
Read that title again - these are 5ths tuning DB sets. A-D-G-C from top down. They are used.
I borrowed a friend's bass for a couple of months intending to swap my Eudoxas over to it but liked the sound of 5ths tuning so much I decided to learn 3 Mozart Symphonies in 5ths tuning. I bought a new...

This little piece "Gnawen" is based on the Shekere, percussion from West Africa that I brought back from my trips to Mali, Benin, Togo.
I use a Fostex R8 tape recorder.
I do my loops in real time with Reaper's Super8Looper.
Enjoy !
This is a set of Schertler Velvet Compas 180 Solo strings that I have had for a while. I don’t play solo tuning enough to justify keeping them. They are in almost mint condition.
These strings don’t have hours of play on them, they have minutes, maybe one hour, tops. I put them on long enough...

Odds and ends from Velvet Genssler era and earlier Genssler prototypes samples etc
As seen one lot are Velvet (Anima I guess) but the others are earlier Genssler strings some metal round wound gut and some nylon wound gut like Golden Spiral...Also some synthetic core in similar construction...

I'm a long term Spiro user (weichs most recently), jazz, mostly pizz. In search of a thicker sound from my G string, I tried a Velvet Blue G, which I love. It definitely gives me a thicker sound and has added bonuses of lower tension and increased volume with nice sustain.
The Blue G is too...
Got these delivered last Saturday from stringemporium. They were installed for about 3 days. I was looking for a softer feel, which they delivered, but just didn't sound right for my bass. They're pretty much new.
This is the full set with the Synthetic G.
If Garbos are your bag, then here...
