Your Signature String

[fjadams]

Thanks. That's what I was thinking about them. Not sure if I'll try them or not. The Copper White are about as bright a string as I can stand.

Ideas for my "signature string":

1. Sadowsky Black Label Flatwound, 45-60-80-105.
2. Fender 9050CL Flatwound, 45-60-80-105.
3. La Bella 760FL Flatwound, 43-60-82-104.

NOTE: 36.5" winding length, BLACK silk on both ends with GOLD/BRASS (NOT colored!) ball ends for all of the above.

I will cast my vote for Ernie Balls. Picked up a new set of Cobalts that breathed new life into my Fender Jazz American Deluxe V in white blonde. I do have another set of Dunlops Marcus Miller super brights on standby that I am looking forward to trying out. No rush however, currently jamming with the Cobalts and lovin every minute of it !

a thicker gauge TI Jazz Flats. Equally well balanced just thicker on all 4 strings.

EB Cobalts would be my signature string any day of the week. I don't even bother trying anything else now.

Are y'all talking about the flats or rounds? I really like the flats but have yet to try the rounds.

The rounds. To me they cut through like nothing else and have feel that I can't quite describe. Not loose but not tight. Just a really musical string and they seem to last a long time. I've heard people report they die quickly so it must have to do with body chemistry. If I had to describe them I'd they sound and feel like if EB Nickel Slinkies and DR Fatbeams had a love child it would be Cobalts.

I do want to try the flats but am hesitant to spend the money on another string experiment. I'm happy with the round cobalts.

My signature set would be a balanced tension GHS pressurewound 5 stirng set. that being said the 128 - 40 is nice

They already make my signature set. GHS Bass Boomers L3045.
Gauges 40-55-75-95. The feel and sound just works for me.
I can't imagine having my name attached to them would help at all with sales though.

GHS boomers. 20 years now.
Use to use Roto 66 but too brite
for what I play. Gotta try GHS round cores next time.

Round core stainless steel with a short taper on the B string. .130 .105 .080 .060 .045. Midrangey and not too bright. Two wrap E string. Think of a cross between the not too bright DR Hi Beams and Fodera Stainless Steel strings with the midrange characteristics of Dunlop Super Brights and DAddario Flexsteels... with silk ends. Meant to get the best sound possible on any fretless bass.
