Cheap no-silk strings?

[BargeOn]

Can anybody recommend some. It's for a photo shoot, the colored silk isn't wanted and the price should be on the low end.

D'addario makes some. Though the colored ball ends are a problem and cheaper would be better.

Thanks.

Just get some cheapo amazon strings. Or if you want someone reputable then Warwick red labels. They used to have silk but now its just bare wire. They have darker brass ball ends btw.

Also the Warwick strings aren't terrible sounding considering they are less than 10$ shipped for 4 strings. Also Silvertone makes a 10$ 4 string set.

Perfect! Thanks guys.

I got two sets of SIT Power Wound Nickels for $30 earlier this summer.

I purchased a Marcus Miller bass from TB a couple months ago with GHS Bassics. I really like them. Those strings are in rotation now. IIRC, they are in the same price range as Slinky's and D'Addario, but I think these are better.

So nudity is required and they want it cheap?

Round wounds. Fenders are about 20 bucks

Thank God, another person who hates D'Addario color ball ends.

Fender 7250’s and Ernie Ball Super Slinkies (pink packaging) are both silkless.

Depends on how fast you need them. You can get these from China for a couple bucks.

Paint the ends black?

Most, if not all, DR's

If it's for a photoshoot it doesn't need to be flats surely? Just throw on the cheapest rounds or whatever old sets you have kicking round and peel off any of the visible colourings?

Ernie Ball Slinkies. You can get them just about anywhere and they sound good too!

Techically, that's dirty deeds done dirt cheap.

Actually, if you want the cheapest and fastest answer, take your strings off your bass, hold the silk end near a lighter or the flame on your stove(one at a time), spend a couple minutes getting the remains of the silks off, then put them back on. Silks burn off pretty easily - you can quite easily do it without damaging your strings.

A 4-string set of LaBella RX roundwounds can be had for about 20 bucks. Not only are they reasonably priced, but they're very good strings. I especially like the stainless steel Rx.
