steviedee Posted January 19, 2011 Posted January 19, 2011 Hi folks looking for a set of strings that are good for pizz but can slap a bit on, I have the tapewound black innovation rabs which I loved initially, but when I play my other bass with the steels I love the projection, so looking for a halfway house.

TheRev Posted January 19, 2011 Posted January 19, 2011 Silver Slaps? I've not tried them personally but they seem to be the string of choice for pizzers & slappers over on Talkbass. Perhaps Obligatos could work as well. I doubt you'll be able to keep up triplets on them but the projection is good and the tension should be low enough for slappin'. Quote
Gareth Hughes Posted January 19, 2011 Posted January 19, 2011 Kolstein Heritage strings have a lovely low tension to them, designed to emulate a gut feel. Me likee a lot. Quote
steviedee Posted January 20, 2011 Author Posted January 20, 2011 Cheers I'll check them out and Rev I'd need to be able to do the triplets in the first place Quote

Personally, I use the red ones the postie kindly leaves on my doorstep. Quote
