Double Bass Cordes Lambert( N. .dubouchet strings)

[tiki613]

hello,

it's been quite some time I test gut substitution and I just discovered les cordes Lambert, it's unbelievable I feel like a set of plain gut mounted on my bass, same tension, I think those frenchies have solved the A & E tension problem, big volume, same touch and color and really cheap for this quality, 60$ shipping include.

Looks a lot like weedwackers. Are they similar?

They are weedwackers.

Sure they are weedwhackers .. but are they more than that? Or is it all mumbo jumbo hoodoo voodoo hype?

, no Paul, this is just the best wackers I have played and this is the reason!!!

I've swapped mails with the guys behind Lambert strings.
They feel they've done something more than make another cheap gut substitute. They've done their reserach, and worked hard.

They believe they've improved on the weaknesses of plain gut E and A without compromising on tension / click tone / balance (that comes with hybrid / wrapped E/A strings) ... tone, sustain, tension all an improvement on plain gut.
And improved on other nylon whackers, matching thickness, look and feel of plain gut.

If that's true, these will be very special strings.
Other whackers are like gut, only not quite as good.
These may be like gut, only better!

I'll find out soon.

This may be a weird question, but are they any good for arco? I know that guts are supposed to be good for every playing style, but I don't have the money for a good set of guts, but for $60, if I could get a string that does everything that guts do, and sound that good, I'm sold.

i'm not a good player with a bow, but this is playable!

 

[PaulKing]

Sorry, no bow.... but here's what they sound like:

slappity slap

You forgot to make your bed.

 

[PaulKing]

I was waiting for that.
The maid was off sick.

 

[Phil Rowan]

Man, you slap bass people would make great pandeiro players (Invalid Link Removed).

Did it ...thanks

 

[happytappin]

so I CANT find a store anywhere that sells Cordes lambert Bass strings??? Anyone?

 

[KUNGfuSHERIFF]

That's because they don't sell retail, they only sell direct.

I have a set of Lamberts Deluxe that I'm not likely to use any time soon of you're desperate. Send me a private message.

I just did, and received very fast (and entertaining) responses, and ordered a set of Gut Twins, which were available with no wait. I'll report back when I get them strung up.

I've been using a set of their original plain guts for years. Definitely better than the whackers I have on another bass.

Let us know what you think.
