Clarky Posted October 5, 2010 Share Posted October 5, 2010 (edited) The strings on my newly acquired Aria SWB* are very taut, much more so than the Thomastik Superflexibles on my DB. Would like to give some low tension Silver Slaps a go. Failing that a set of Innovation Honeys? So has anyone got a spare/used set they want to sell? Cheers Clarky * I have the piezo-only version Edited October 10, 2010 by Clarky Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TPJ Posted October 6, 2010 Share Posted October 6, 2010 Found these for sale. I think they are low tension as well. [url="http://basschat.co.uk/index.php?showtopic=105057"]http://basschat.co.uk/index.php?showtopic=105057[/url] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clarky Posted October 6, 2010 Author Share Posted October 6, 2010 Thanks for that. I don't know much about Presto strings. Will drop slobluesine a PM. Cheers! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can't remember what guage that set for sale is .. i think he bought light rather than ultralight, so they're not the lowet tension. But a good transition from steel.

Clarky Posted October 9, 2010 Author Share Posted October 9, 2010 (edited) Just put the Presto strings on my Aria EUB. What a difference. From being (in my hands at least - not those of the manly Beedster ) virtually unplayable with transatlantic cables, its now very slick and easy. Sounds good through the MB combo too and a pretty good approximation of a DB. Now considering whether I should swap over the Thomastiks on my DB to these or similar gut-alikes (Silver Slaps/Honeys) ....

If this was a Facebook post I'd give it a thumbs up "Like", but as it is I'll just do this Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
