sirmuppet Posted April 10, 2021 Share Posted April 10, 2021 Not got much to go on but I heard a bass and want to try the strings that were on it on mine. They had red thread at the bottom and what looked like blue thread at the headstock end. An idea what brand these are? Sorry for the vagueness. 🤣 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Took a while to find a pic but it looks like them. Thanks. Do you guys mean roundwound and it's a typo or is there actually a range called groundwound and I'm missing something? lol. If they are those ones then they're stainless steel aren't they? If so it explains why I like the sound so much. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Little Dragon Posted April 12, 2021 Share Posted April 12, 2021 Groundwound are sometimes also known as halfround. They are roundwounds with the top surface ground down and have the appearance of flats but a sound somewhere between flats and rounds.

I knew about half rounds but didn't know the groundwound term. 😊 Have ordered a set so looking forward to A-B them against a set of Rotosounds that are on their way. Cheers again for the help and to Pow_22 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pow_22 Posted April 13, 2021 Share Posted April 13, 2021 Did the strings you heard sound like flats or rounds? Elites Groundwound definitely air on the side of flats. Havent tried their rounds but the may well also follow the same silk colour scheme? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I ended up going for the Stadium Elite Roundwounds as I'm thinking it might be them. Certainly from looking at a pick the colour scheme is the same. Got a decent deal on them too. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
