Rabbie Posted May 12, 2014 Share Posted May 12, 2014 Woooo. Tempting. I'm not familiar with what medium+ mean. Can you please explain it with reference to a regular gut set, say Lenzner? Ta Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spencer.b Posted May 12, 2014 Share Posted May 12, 2014 http://www.gamutstrings.com/catalog.html?Vl=4&Tp=2 here's the diameters I've got these strings in medium and I love them, on my bass they have a fair bit more sustain and a more refined tone than cheaper guts like efranos and more thump than velvets innovations etc. mine have lasted better than I expected too Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rabbie Posted May 12, 2014 Share Posted May 12, 2014 (edited) My main concern is tension over gig-time as I do slap quite a bit. Any thoughts? Oh and by the way what kind of Gamuts are they: Lyon? Pistoy? Thank you very much Edited May 12, 2014 by Rabbie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spencer.b Posted May 13, 2014 Share Posted May 13, 2014 I find the pitch drops a lot for the first month or so but then they settle down, I found that slapping hasn't made them drop in pitch dramatically more than pizz but I'm just getting into slap as most of my work is straight ahead. I'd assume the plain G and D are the Lyons. I tried a pistoy D and it didn't work for me , it's supposed to be a more modern sustaining string from what I read on talkbass but the Lyon was way better on my bass.

Rabbie Posted May 13, 2014 Share Posted May 13, 2014 You are absolutely correct Spencer, The time to settle is common to all guts. The only slapping concern I have depends on not knowing what the term "medium+" means inn practical terms (I.e. when compared to regular non-boutique guts like the Lenzner). The fancy tension charts don't answer the question unfortunately. It just needs someone to have tried both and give an account of how the different tension feels. Of course I believe that Gamut has an infinitely more accomplished sound, but if my fingers were to hurt after every gigs/recording, they would still be no use to me, that's all.
