ianwild16 Posted June 7, 2018 Posted June 7, 2018 Currently using rotosound swing round wounds..... What would you recommend? Quote
dannybuoy Posted June 7, 2018 Posted June 7, 2018 I’ve not tried the Marcus set, but I found the regular Dunlop Super Bright steels great for slap, very low tension which made it much easier. https://www.jimdunlop.com/product/dbmms45105-7-10137-08601-2.do?sortby=ourPicks&refType=&from=Search&ecList=6&ecCategory= 1 Quote

I’ve had Superbrights on two very different basses and have to say they feel lovely. 1 Quote
PawelG Posted June 8, 2018 Posted June 8, 2018 Dunlop Super Brights are great. I recommend DR Sunbeams. Great tone, I'd say not as bright as the Dunlops. Quote
ianwild16 Posted June 8, 2018 Author Posted June 8, 2018 Oh the Dunlops aren't cheap! Ordered a set with some flea signature GHS boomers... Quote
CameronJ Posted June 8, 2018 Posted June 8, 2018 How cheap is cheap? I get 5 string sets of superbrights for about £22 Quote
The59Sound Posted June 9, 2018 Posted June 9, 2018 DR Fat Beams. Got some off eBay for £19 all in last time I ordered. Quote
EBS_freak Posted June 10, 2018 Posted June 10, 2018 Stainless DR Hi Beam. Untouchable. If you want higher tension... Stainless DR Lo Rider. 1 Quote
xgsjx Posted June 11, 2018 Posted June 11, 2018 I'm gonna throw in D'Addario Chromes to your mix. They're flatwound, but they're a brighter sounding flatwound. Quote
