bassadder Posted April 3, 2014 Share Posted April 3, 2014 (edited) Hi Guys Using Velvet Animas and sound great but the G string is a bit hard to get a consistent tone (arco wise) out of without the odd squeak, my bass will only accept low tension strings, any recommendations.

Beer of the Bass Posted April 5, 2014 Share Posted April 5, 2014 (edited) [quote name='Rabbie' timestamp='1396695025' post='2416477'] Guts [/quote] How do you find the guts with a bow? I tried a plain gut G and D for about a week, and just couldn't get on with the arco response. They bow easily enough, but that raspy, reedy sound is a bit of an acquired taste outside of a baroque ensemble! Although I guess wound guts will be different.

Rabbie Posted April 5, 2014 Share Posted April 5, 2014 I am the worst exponent of arco in the world. So don't take my word for it, but guts are bowable. In fact before steels that's kinda all they had. I know what you mean about the typical sound, doesn't bother me but again, I hardly ever bow.

marvin spangles Posted April 9, 2014 Share Posted April 9, 2014 Sonores Drago Basso Easy to bow and low tension . The downside is the price. Very pricy Spiro Weichs are pretty low too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jezyorkshire Posted April 9, 2014 Share Posted April 9, 2014 Spiro weichs are as far as i know quite a bit more, tension wise than Animas Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
