daflewis Posted July 28, 2012 Author Share Posted July 28, 2012 (edited) Hi Steve, Thanks once again, for taking the time to share your thoughts on the strings - and such nice thoughts too! I think that, as Bremen discovered, the big problem with these strings is the diameter and the problems of getting them to fit on a bass - I have them on one of my basses and love them for jazz, but were it not for my work with the company I probably wouldn't have even tried them. Cheers, Daf Edited August 6, 2012 by daflewis Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

alistair Sutcliffe Posted March 13, 2013 Share Posted March 13, 2013 I realise i'm about a year late to the party, but is this still going on? I'd like to try them if possible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
daflewis Posted March 17, 2013 Author Share Posted March 17, 2013 Hi Alistair, Sorry I'm late, just got back from holiday. Yes it's still going on - though it had gone a bit quiet of late... I [u]think[/u] they're with The Rev at the moment? and nobody else is waiting, so try dropping him a PM - unless it's already sorted... Cheers Daf Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cattytown Posted June 6, 2013 Share Posted June 6, 2013 First impressions - very nice. Love the bite at the start of a note playing pizz. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
daflewis Posted June 6, 2013 Author Share Posted June 6, 2013 Thanks Cattytown, yeh a lot of the guys who use like them for jazz or blues/roots mention the nice "click" or "pop" at the start of the note - I'd also love to use them more myself, but sadly the amount of bowing I have to do makes it impossible... Glad you're enjoying them! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
