Not to bright roundwounds?

[jake bassist]

I’ll throw in another vote for GHS Boomers and/or DR Sunbeams.
Already ordered sunbeams.
GHS Pressurewounds are nice, but I kind of think of them as their own thing.

No.
Many are quick to try a new set of strings,pickups,preamps and completely bypass turning a knob on their amps.
Which doesn't cost anything to turn.

And they do that because those settings are working for all of their other instruments. No one wants to reset their rig to change basses

Yeah.Such a difficult thing to keep a note in a note pad.

Who refers to a notebook mid gig?

Then there's a thing called memory.

And then there is screwing around with your gear between sets being rather unprofessional...

Which roundwounds have subdued treble / hi mids? Have bought Jazz bass with EMG pu's. Bass is very nice but I find emg's a bit too bright/ clanky.
I am not looking for thumpy bass but more low mids /mids.
Recommendations?

Probably already suggested (didn't read the whole thread), but DR Sunbeams were my choice for mellow rounds, especially once they're fully broken in, and EB Cobalt flats or GHS pressurewounds.

True.
Also, all my basses are active with 3 or more band preamp and distinct sound. That's why I keep amp flat. Anything more than very small correction with amp preamp changes the bass original sound too much. Hence, rather with mellow nickels wich tame harsness but do not change bass's tone.

Came here to say DR Sunbeams -- but only when broken in. I haven't found any set of rounds that doesn't have too much zing and clank when new... I personally like the round core / more flexibility that Sunbeams offer.

If you're a paid pro in a recording session,sure!
If you're not,then you're just being pedantic.

I would recommend DR Pure Blues over Sunbeams. Both are terrific, but I find the Sunbeams a bit scooped and clanky (within the scope of being generally warm). Pure Blues have more mid content.
