Beedster Posted February 1, 2011 Author Share Posted February 1, 2011 Hiya mate I don't really know a lot to be honest, and I haven't played them. I bought them from Alan (Bassix). They're played by Keter Betts amongst others. Multi-stranded core, good for pizz and arco apparently. They were going to go on my old German beast until a set of Velvets came along, and I've realised that I'm starting to acquire DB strings at a rate significantly faster than I'm ever going to use them. Webpage is at [url="http://www.supersensitive.com/bass.html"]http://www.supersensitive.com/bass.html[/url] and it's set SS8207. When I bought them i found a thread on TB that helped me make up my min but I couldn't find it just now (which isn't much help is it!). If you're interested perhaps we could sort something against the bridge? Cheers Chris Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Ampeg seems to suit light strings, I was wondering about the thickness and tension? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The website promises info on tension but then doesn't provide any! I don't think they're an especially high quality string (they sell for $129 in the USA [url="http://www.juststrings.com/sps-ss8207-3-4.html)"]http://www.juststrings.com/sps-ss8207-3-4.html)[/url]. I wouldn't take the risk on the Ampeg to be honest! Cheers C Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
