Jazzjames Posted April 27, 2014 Posted April 27, 2014 (edited) Hi Everyone, I bought these Thomastiks a few days ago from Bass Direct, and they don't suit the bass that I intended them for. On my bass for less than 24 hours. The E, D, and G are cut with 2-3 wraps for a 34" fender bass, so should fit on most other basses. There was an error in the packaging and I received 2 D strings, so the A is actually on its way from Bass Direct, so you will actually get 5 strings. I figured I'd give them a try as I like the Thomastik flats so much... but they're not for me. Low tension, very balanced, easy to play. The outer wrap is quite a fine wrap compared to other round wound strings I have used, and they feel very smooth and silky to play. [b]£30 ono delivered in the UK.[/b] Pictures if anyone wants some... Many thanks, James Edited June 27, 2014 by Jazzjames
Jazzjames Posted April 30, 2014 Author Posted April 30, 2014 bump. Make me an offer! or a trade of some description.. I'm looking for an A/B box at the moment
dave_bass5 Posted May 6, 2014 Posted May 6, 2014 I dont suppose you would sell me the spare D would you (if ive read your post right)? Mine broke and im finding it hard to track a single down. No problem if ive got it wrong. Good luck with the sale.

[/quote] Dave - if JJ doesn't oblige then drop me a PM as I think I've got a spare D knocking around - I had exactly the same issue as the OP as they sent 2 D's instead of an A & D...
Jazzjames Posted May 12, 2014 Author Posted May 12, 2014 Sorry I haven't seen the new posts sooner. You are welcome to it of course. Just PM me and we can sort it out. James
dave_bass5 Posted May 12, 2014 Posted May 12, 2014 Hi James. No problem, im sorted now but thanks very much for the offer.
Grangur Posted June 19, 2014 Posted June 19, 2014 What do Thomastik strings sound like? Are they deep bass or zingy/metallic? Are they uncut or what bass were they removed from? I'm interested, but I don't get to change strings enough to learn much about them.
Jazzjames Posted June 27, 2014 Author Posted June 27, 2014 Sold! And i would say that the strings are quite mellow sounding, soft feel. Best ask soneone else who had them on for more than 10 minutes!
