[Slade N]

Can the collective identify the strings on this bass?

I play these basses and am interested in trying exposed core strings like this. I am currently using and loving GHS pressure wounds but am open to trying something new.

Yes, they do look very much like the Ken Smith Taper Core, which are "taperwound" and not "exposed core".

I use Ken Smith Compressors, which are the same Alloy 52 "rollerwound" as the Pressurewound, also made by GHS. But only the low B string is taperwound on them.

If you want to try "exposed core" specifically, GHS Contact Core Super Steels are the same stainless steel rounds as the Ken Smith Taper Cores.
