Roundwound similar to 760FX?

[Stan_da_man]

Could anyone give me a suggestion for a roundwound string, similar tension and gauges to La Bella 760FX?

Cheers!

Any 40-60-80-100 set.

Any 40-60-80-100 set.

Make sure they're hex core as well.

I've just bought several sets of the GHS Bassics in light gauge so will give them a try first.

I use the Bassics 40-58-80-102. I've never used the 760FX but I do use the Ernie Ball Group IV Stainless Flats (40-95).

I would say the Bassics 40-102 and the Group IV are fairly close both in tension and stiffness. The 760FX would probably in the same ballpark.

Bassics 40-102 = 153.3 lbs. in total tension.
Group IV = 153.02 lbs. in total tension.

I would say most 40-100 hexcore rounds would get me pretty close.

Bassics, XLs, Slinkys, Lo-Riders, RXs, Rotobass are what I had in mind.

Update: Went from the 760FX set to Lo Rider Nickels 40-100. Very similar tension and feel.

Lo riders are good strings. I always suggest to try stainless alongside nickel to see what you prefer. I think well broken in steel sounds better than well broken in nickel.
