Mr Bassman Posted May 17, 2020 Share Posted May 17, 2020 After longing for one of these beauties for a few months I finally got one. On the day it was delivered I became ill and hardly touched it for the first two weeks. Most BTB's are 35" scale, I wanted something shorter for playing chords, this is 33". It's very comfortable to play seated, seems ok standing and balances well. The strings are D'Addario NYXL and are a bit too bright for my liking. Can anyone recommend something warmer sounding that would fit? The picture doesn't do it justice, it's much nicer. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BassApprentice Posted May 18, 2020 Share Posted May 18, 2020 Here to advocate La Bella White Nylons. I've got the Copper which are quite warm but the White are brighter, bonus is no finger noise and they come in standard and medium scale.

I have a clip of the coppers here if you want to hear them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They don't come in a set and the C string is the worst offender, although if I like the C I'll probably get the other 5.

I'm a big fan of La Bella nylons, I have a spare 4 string set somewhere but they might be to thick for the nut. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
visog Posted May 23, 2020 Share Posted May 23, 2020 Oof! So this is a Volo in a 6? Nice. Played one of the original 5s at Andertons. Very nice and good value. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
