If I were playing a VP, I’d be looking for a somewhat darker sounding Nickel string, personally...or maybe Cobalt flats even

I'm using DR Sunbeams on mine - but I use Dr Sunbeams on almost everything.

 

[veebass]

Yeah they are!!!

Digging the sound of the bass and the shirt.

Yes, they sure are!

Still experimenting with different strings on mine. What strings are you using?

Fender Pure Nickel Rounds 45- 105.

Let it Goat. Man you're brutal.

As Confusion once said - if the foo sh!ts, wear it.

Goatboy has talents beyond belief, in fact I'm not sure I believe any of them.

Seriously, he's a great sport to put up with all our bleating in this thread. Besides, the pet goat I had when growing up was one of the coolest pets I ever had.

Fender Pure Nickel Rounds 45- 105.

I assume the G string was long enough on that set to get at least a couple of wraps around the tuning peg, correct?

Sounds like a bad horror movie to me. So bad it's good.

There's definitely a HPF in my future.

There’s a Broughton lpf+HPF in the OzBass classifieds. With a box.
No affiliation. Wasn’t sure if you’d seen it.

Being in here is like a walk in the park. (No sarcasm... for once)

I completely agree...

Speaking of horn players, the trumpet player is my (rotten) kid. Yeah, I'm boasting. So, sue me.

That’s really good. Thanks for posting.

Quick clip of the Broughton Audio LPF/HPF if anyone’s interested in that sort of thing

Thanks Duke

I’d love to sound like that.

Completely agree. Switched the stock strings for DR Silver Stars (silver Black Beauties). Sounds good but lost a bit more growl and grind than I wanted to lose. I'm thinking the Cobalt flats will tame the top end without burying the grind. Might try those next. Just want to be sure not to emphasize the mids any more than the bass already naturally does.

Relative to Chromes (Nickel Rounds), are the Sunbeams brighter? I like dark and deep but well defined.

I can't compare them to Chromes, but I can tell you that they are brighter than Ernie Ball Slinky or D'Addario XL, and with more body and balance than either of those as well. Easy on the fingers for roundwounds, generally long-lasting - DR makes a good product, IME.

Anyone know what happened?

No clue. He hasn't been in here as often lately.

It comes with a box? That's quality!

Two and a half wraps- holding tune very well!

My piggy bank is completely empty at the moment, someone else can have it.

What’s the price in kangaroo bux?

 

[RedVee]

Thanks



What’s the price in kangaroo bux?

180

 

[dukeorock]

180

They’re $180USD plus shipping here. Considering how crazy expensive everything is there, that is probably a decent price...?
