alternative to Daddario Halfrounds with a heavier tension?

[gillento]

Hi,
I like the sound of theENR71 Half Rounds Bass, Regular Light, 45-100 by Daddario on my P a lot. But they feel to soft for my taste. Is there a similar sounding alternative with a heavier feel?

 

[Jon Moody]

Why not a heavier gauge of the Half Rounds, if that's what you like?

Did not find any on the DA. website

Maybe GHS Pressurewounds?

Bass Strings Online has a ENR72 (50-105) and a ENR73 (55-110) as options.

Maybe GHS Pressurewounds?

If the OP likes the half round feel, a set of Brite Flats would probably be a better fit.

Status half rounds are good or LaBella Quarter rounds if you like the sound a little "rounder".

I think the answer is a heavier set of what you like using, but who knows how readily available they are in Luxembourg.

+1 to checking out Invalid Link Removed (it may be more affordable all things considered - registering as a Talkbass member qualifies you for discounts), and also considering GHS Brite Flats (thinking about it myself).

EDIT: in case your tension problem is limited to one or two strings, both Stringsdirect and Schneidermusik have singles available for purchase:
