Stephen [/quote] have you tried them though before? they are heavier in terms of diameter but the tension is much lower than steel or nickel wounds
Marsy Posted June 16, 2013 Author Posted June 16, 2013 Hey! I haven't tried them no.. I took the bass (strung with roundwounds) to a tech with the nylon strings I'm packet and asked to get them on and 'set-up'. He said he didn't wanna put them on the medium scale p-bass just coz the gauge is a bit thick and they're 'long scale' strings. So it wasn't gonna find on the tuner too well either and could snap! So no, they're still in the packets coiled up = )

KiOgon Posted June 16, 2013 Posted June 16, 2013 I think the tech was thinking there would be too much full diameter string to get around the tuners, assuming a medium scale length set are shorter like.
Marsy Posted June 16, 2013 Author Posted June 16, 2013 Yeah they're tru bass 88's Yep, we were worried the string might snap because it would have been the thick 'string' part that would have been in the tuner. So we just decided to leave it and I'll get the right ones for my bass!
