Roto RS400, yet another strings query
sumorabbit replied to sumorabbit's topic in EUB and Double Bass
Weichs were my preferred string, I can't use them anymore. I'm stuck in the ballpark of similar tension to gut now, maybe a smidge higher. Sadly I'm not sure the Orchestra spiro would be low enough. I did like golden/silver slaps, the silvers mucked up and went sticky really fast though -
Roto RS400, yet another strings query

At its worse the RSI took me out of playing for around 12 months, I don't want to end up in that place again for sure. Gigs are literally more than 50% of my income, so I can't afford to be injured. I used to use a mag pickup with eurosonics, light enough tension but they made me blister like crazy. I don't think I could ever go back to steels now for fear of injury. -

Hi all, Suffice to say I have a very large pile of upright strings. Having had a few bad bouts of RSI, I had to go from steels to lower tension over the years. I play mostly functions these days, and by that I have to cover slap playing as well as the long overplayed post modern style. I finally settled last year on the RS400's (useless for arco but I've had to compromise), I have however bumped them to further alleviate RSI flair ups. Perfectly happy with ADG strings, I've learned to accommodate my playing to the floppiness. the E however is just near useless (using a bumped A). It's dull and muddy, I miss the steel string growl down there. My playing now avoids the E for 90% of the time. Does anybody have a suggestion of a string to try for the E? I've tried a Spiro A and E, Silver slap E, Euro sonic tape wound (this caused a lot of blistering for some reason), Gut a like A and E (copper and my ph don't mix, green within a week), Sugar slap A, SBW A and a few others I can't recall at the moment. I'm willing to dump some cash into getting this right, especially as Christmas gig season is impending and I'm out on upright for 6 gigs so far. I will add I use 2 pickup systems with a mixer close to hand, a copperhead into Fishman plat pro and a shadow RB-pro, I use either depending on the genre of the gig. Thanks peeps

Line 6 Relay G55 system with everything needed to get going. Has the usual iffy G55 transmitter battery door, it closes and locks, but if the batteries are the smaller of the AA size it can be intermittent in power as they move around. Sorted by 1 elastic band and used for years with no issues. Belt clip is missing as I always put it in my pocket or in a leather pouch pack when using on upright bass. Original clip in cable from pack to instrument is long dead, will include a Sennheiser I've been using but this one but this doesn't lock in like the line 6 cable did. The lock mini xlr can be obtained for a few £ and soldered on if it bothers. Just tested everything before listing and all working. I'm using Shure wireless systems now so this is surplus to requirements. No box, long gone.

MEC 6 string bass pickups from my 2006 Streamer. I’ve swapped them out for Bart’s singles as I fancied changing my sound. fully working, casings are aged as they are 18 years ish old. They are active and require 9v. These are the split P coil type under the casings. price includes postage. Can provide video of them if wanted in use before I swapped them. They are fat and warm, I favour snappy singles these days hence the swap. Found the vids, bass is plugged straight to soundcard with mild comp and an ampeg amp sim

EMG Active jazz pickups and all the easy slot solderless wiring needed to install. I used these on my Streamer 4 fretless for a couple of years before I sold the bass as stock. The covers have aged with my use and discoloured a bit, but I spose they are supposed to be vintage Ivory colour anyway, so I vintaged them further for free! Postage included EMG fluff on them "The original EMG J Set became an instant hit with its sweeping harmonic overtones, punch and quiet operation. This pickup set has classic jazz bass characteristics with a broader tonal frequency range that adds dimensions and clarity to your bass playing. EMG’s design has a very low ratio of resistance to inductance, which increases the low end response, while the radiused ceramic bar magnet ensures the tone keeps a tight mid-range punch with dynamic high end response. Whether you play fretted or fretless, live or in the studio, you’ll get an incredibly full sound with these bass pickups." t
