Lozz196 Posted December 23, 2015 Share Posted December 23, 2015 As above really, am looking for similar tones to Rotosound Steel Rounds, but with a longer life. Currently using D`Addario Pro-Steels and whilst I love the tone of them soloed, they`re a bit too scooped in the mix, so looking for strings with more prominent mids.

BigRedX Posted December 23, 2015 Share Posted December 23, 2015 Try LaBella steels or Warwick Black Label. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TrevorR Posted January 3, 2016 Share Posted January 3, 2016 I've been very impressed with Picato's stainless steel round wounds. £15.99 from Strings Direct... http://www.stringsdirect.co.uk/strings-c1/bass-guitar-strings-sets-c34/stainless-steel-sets-c238/picato-4-string-stainless-steel-roundwound-45-105-long-scale-bass-guitar-strings-p1085 Been using them for the last four or five years and would still be doing so had I not been tempted to dabble in the dark (flat) side over the last couple of months. I found them to be consistent and long lasting (tho I suspect my playing style isn't as punishing as punk with a pick). I thought they had a good top end/upper mid presence without being overly zingy or pingy, esp when they'd had a couple of uses to play in. If flats don't work out for me in the long run it will e them I will be heading back to. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chrismuzz Posted January 3, 2016 Share Posted January 3, 2016 Elites are worth trying, they're less scooped than ProSteels and quite affordable. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
