Recommended Posts

Any SLB players out there using Innovation, and if so which?

I've tried several brands on my Yamaha's and the best on my SLB200 at present are Obligato

Does anyone know if any Innovation strings compare to the Obligatos

cheers

Keith

Hi Keith,
Depending on what style you play the 140B or 140H would be closest - the "B" favours the bow a little and the "H" has a slightly brighter sound for jazz (though personally I like the extra "thump" in the pizz of the Bs)
That said, if you don't bow much at all then the silver slaps have a nice pizz sound - Jennifer (endorka) has started using them recently on her NS designs eub - it might worth having a chat with her... Also, just checking - the Yamaha doesn't use any magnetic pickups does it? As innovations won't work with mags.
Cheers,
Daf

Thanks Daf,

I tried the Hs a while ago and they didn't work for me

I'm not using a mag, got a F/C on + the on board original

Anyone got a G 140B or SS I could borrow or buy just to try?

Obligatos work well but I still think I can get it sounding better.

Cheers
