petebassist Posted December 14, 2015 Posted December 14, 2015 Hello string experts, I have a nice looking set of 3/4 size Solo strings (I think!) that were on my double bass when I bought it, but at the time as a DB novice I didn't think to ask what they were. I don't think they were the stock Stentor 1950 strings. The colours are: A - Purple E - Light blue B - Green F# - Black I tried may different string ID websites but have drawn a blank - does anyone recognize these ? Many thanks, Pete Quote
SubsonicSimpleton Posted December 14, 2015 Posted December 14, 2015 Looks like the bog stock OEM bridge retainers as fitted to all lower end Stentors - see my thread here http://basschat.co.uk/topic/246912-what-strings-do-stentor-fit-on-their-dbs/ I spent a while looking through resources like the Quinn violins database, and the pictures of various strings on the contrabasseshop and gollihurs websites and couldn't find a match.

petebassist Posted December 14, 2015 Author Posted December 14, 2015 Yes, looks like you're right - stock Stentor strings. I'm surprised as off the bass they feel decent quality. Thanks for looking that up, appreciated. Pete Quote
