Clarky Posted July 2, 2012 Share Posted July 2, 2012 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheRev Posted July 3, 2012 Share Posted July 3, 2012 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.

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.
