goblin Posted August 28, 2013 Posted August 28, 2013 I'm trying to get a new set of strings for my 'Vette 5 and having a nightmare with it! I like what the bass came with...the problem is that I don't know what they are, and I can't simply as the old owner as I got it from Bass Gear, so we don't know what it came with. There's no silk wrapping on the strings at all, and no colour coding on the ball ends either, they're just gold coloured. The strings have a slightly dark tint to them too, I know they stainless rounds but at the moment that as much as I can tell (apart from the gauge of them) [URL=http://s88.photobucket.com/user/goblin92/media/274E5E41-B036-455A-8BB9-27C19DA02354-3364-000001F33E0EF6F6_zps1268ca07.jpg.html][IMG]http://i88.photobucket.com/albums/k195/goblin92/274E5E41-B036-455A-8BB9-27C19DA02354-3364-000001F33E0EF6F6_zps1268ca07.jpg[/IMG][/URL] Quote
ikay Posted August 28, 2013 Posted August 28, 2013 One clue you've got to work with is the tapered B. You may then be able to narrow it down by eliminating tapers with silk. This link lists some tapered strings and may be a useful starting point - [url="http://www.bassstringsonline.com/Taper-Core_c_251.html"]http://www.bassstringsonline.com/Taper-Core_c_251.html[/url] Quote
