Hey Wayne, those low tension strings you tried on my DB were Innovation Silver Slaps in case this helps you narrow down your search (Golden Slaps are the same, just a different colour). They are £75 a set new http://www.stringexpress.co.uk/dbass.htm but do come up from time to time second-hand on BC

Wayne, I don't know if you're looking for slappable strings or just low tension, but I've just come across [url="http://www.freewebstore.org/index.aspx?pageid=693777&rw=1"]Superior Bassworks[/url]:

£38 for a set of 6 gut-a-like strings can't be bad. They do them in packs of six so that you can bump strings to suit your playing style. If £38 is stretching it a bit, then they're doing their weedwhacker type strings for £15 for a pack of 6.

Cheers mate, just bought a set.

I ordered a set of strings and a pickup on Tuesday. As soon as (or if...) they arrive I'll let you know.

I've had some email correspondence with them and they seem ok. I asked about that wacky aluminium/wood bridge They sent me a few emails with the full spec. Interested to hear about how the strings perform.

Strings arrived this morning. That's pretty good service.

[waynepunkdude]

Ditto, top service.
