Picato Strings

I feel the same on the halfrounds.. excellent strings, and suitable for 35" scale. I wait with bated breath to see what happens in future. Hopefully the quality control will mean just as good strings!
Edit: I know some were made with silks, and the folks at Treorchy said they did both but were leaning towards silks.
We have 2 sets left in the shop, which I might get myself to stock up(!), which have silks and definitely came from Treorchy.

I found this thread when trying to find info on the Picato nickel rounds. The first I heard of them was just now, browsing Strings Direct for 45-105 sets of Nickel plated rounds.

Their packaging still says British Made, and they cost somewhere between Roto Bass and Swing Bass Nickels.

If anyone has opinions / observations on them based on recent experience, that would be great :)

I found their nickels similar to Roto Bass nickels... nothing wrong with them, perfectly good strings for the money.

I’ve recently started using the steel roundwounds on my 4 string basses (Jazz & Stingray).

Can’t quite understand the pricing difference between 40-100’s & 45-105’s with Strings direct but I’ve found them a good string, not too rough on the fingers/frets & very reasonably priced compared to the D’addario & Dunlop strings I’ve used up to this point?
 

They’ve lasted quite well in brightness, definitely better than Roto’s or Elites in my experience..
