GHS Balanced Nickel strings

[Linnin]

I might put them on my Jazz bass, which currently wears roundcore boomers.

I am pretty well smitten with roundcore Bass Boomers on a Fender Jazz bass. They give me the tone and feel that I like best on my jazz. Since I have two sets of GHS Balanced Nickels ordered, I should put a set on my Jazz and Precision at the same time.

My J and RCBs have been together for two and a half weeks. They're inseparable now.

I'm hoping the BNs will turn out to be the soul mate my P has been looking for.

What would all of you RCB users compare them most closely to? Sonically and tension-wise.

Love the RCBs on my Jazz as well. Love the PWs on my Nate Mendel Precision. It's the P/J that is blowing in the wind as far as strings are concerned. I guess I'll play around with them and see what comes up. I was originally planning on putting PWs on all three basses, but the RCBs changed that, and now the BNs are looking for a spot. Might have to put them on the Nate Mendel and see how they fair. Or buy another bass LOL

RCB for J, BN for P and PW for PJ. Done.

That proposition leaves precious little space for Progressives, the crown jewel in the GHS empire! (Though does sound good otherwise...)

Hmmm......I'll try it. The PWs do sound pretty good on the PJ. Though, last night I was playing the P and the tone was amazing, to say the least.

Ok, now I really need to get a new bass.

Ok, ok...

Another J for PR, and another P for PF... Did I miss anything?

Oh boy!

Review: GHS Round Core Bass Boomers

 

[Jim Pen]

I recently twisted some Balanced Nickels on a P bass but only played them a couple of times. Right off, I noticed a really nice and rich tone in the A and D strings. I like that.

Michael, I hope your surgery goes well.

How about the E & G? Smooth & Even too?

 

[michael_t]

Michael, I hope your surgery goes well.

Thanks, Jim.

This being my fourth one, I consider myself a seasoned veteran at this already.

 

[Linnin]

Thanks, Jim.

Prayers for your well being my brother!

 

[Jim Pen]

Michael, your basses are just getting a fourth vacation.
Linnin, yes, the E and G are right in even also. These are definitely not scooped, but balanced.

Some more tones from GHS Balanced Nickels 44-106, on the great Harlan Rogers tune:

For me, that is the perfect bass tone. Fabulous.

 

[Linnin]

Just heard from GHS. My set is on the way via priority mail. A second set will eventually arrive from JustStrings.

The more I play these, the more I like them.
