Personally mine will probably never get used I have a Mono Vertigo gig bag that I use all the time. In which case @AndyTravisis looking for a Yammy gig bag for his 414...

CameronJ Posted December 8, 2020 Share Posted December 8, 2020 My 735a came factory fitted with D’Addario EXL170s but I definitely don’t remember them leaving any residue on my fingers. Maybe the BBPH is strung differently? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They do settle in. They are D’Addario nickels and I like nickels and D’ Addario. They stop making your fingers grimy after a bit and get less abrasive. I do have some Dunlop nickels 45 - 105. I might try them. Maybe DRs? Sunbeams? It’s getting expensive. My favourite go to string is Dunlop flats that are quite bright for flats but I’m not sure they’re the right strings for this bass. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Al Krow Posted December 8, 2020 Author Share Posted December 8, 2020 D'Addario EXL 170s nickels are my go to strings also. Richtone were doing a double pack of 5ers for £40. I should have bulk ordered - I see that the double pack has gone back up to £60!! But I guess £30 for a set of 5 strings is par for the course.

I got some of this last year. I always thought my BBP34 fretboard looked a bit anaemic, but a couple of applications of this darkened it up nicely. Made a really nice visual difference to the bass.

Spoke too soon: GAK are doing a set of EXL 170-5 for £22.20 (plus fixed £2 postage irrespective of how many packs you get). I've just helped myself to 3 sets - two of my basses, including my 735A, are in desperate need of some new strings (and a bit of fretboard oil / tlc!) and it was good to bag a spare set while I can get them for that price!

Sound and feel is great, very close to XL’s, but i didn’t find they lasted much longer than the XL’s I normally use. I also found the A string sounded a bit hollow on my P34. I had two sets then gave up no them. Maybe it’s just me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Have you got them on your 1025X? What extra are you getting / hearing from them compared to the EXLs? (I see they're about 50% pricier than the EXLs - dv247 currently have the NYXL 45 to 130s in stock for £33). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
