Clarky Posted July 11, 2012 Share Posted July 11, 2012 (edited) I recently picked up a Warwick Thumb 5. It had a set of Warwick steel strings on which I could not definively ascertain and I had good things read about Warwick EMP coated strings so I bought a set of those for a cool £42.95 at Stringsdirect [url="http://www.stringsdirect.co.uk/products/11017-warwick_5_string_emp_coated_bass_guitar_strings_45_135"]http://www.stringsdi..._strings_45_135[/url]. They appear identical to the strings that were on the Warwick beforehand (albeit they are new)! Well, to cut to the chase, I've decided I prefer EB Slinky nickelwound strings to the Warwicks and am thus selling my two sets of Warwick strings - one defo EMP and on the bass for a matter of a few days only (a couple of hours home noodling use only), the other probably EMP but worn in. How does £30 posted for both sets sound? Edited July 23, 2012 by Clarky Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clarky Posted July 22, 2012 Author Share Posted July 22, 2012 Bump, £30 for a £43 set of strings (barely used) and what appears to be a backup, older set of the same type of strings. So £30 for what originally cost £86? Sounds fair do's to me! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
uncle psychosis Posted July 22, 2012 Share Posted July 22, 2012 Do you think they'd fit on a 36" bass strung 3+2? How coated do they feel? Can you tell they're coated- I never got on with slinkys... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clarky Posted July 22, 2012 Author Share Posted July 22, 2012 Hmm, I rather doubt they would fit as the headstock on a Thumb is not long and the scale length is 34". Sorry. Although its probably irrelevant, I can't tell that they are coated at all. They feel like typical hard stainess steel strings to me (I prefer nickel and don't generally like s/s) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
