allighatt0r Posted May 14, 2009 Posted May 14, 2009 I've never been a guy for bright sounding new strings, i usually get my brother (also a bassist) to play them for a while so they are a bit deadened (is that a word?). The main thing i don't like is the twang! Anyway, to cut a long story short i recently got a set of Sadowsky Blue Label nickel strings from CHRISDABASS and put them on. No twang, no loud clicks, but plenty of punch! Perfect! Only problem is, Sadowsky strings are like rocking horse poo over here and i don't want to order them in from the US of A, so basically, i need recommendations for similar sounding Nickel strings that are easily acquired in England! (D'addarios are out, they seem to bright to me) Thanks in advance. Quote
GreeneKing Posted May 14, 2009 Posted May 14, 2009 I'd say give Overwater nickels a try. I've used DR Sunbeams and Sadowsky's and I think they're fab. £13.99 deliver for 4 too. Quote
