daniele Posted December 1, 2009 Share Posted December 1, 2009 Hi everybody, I'd like to try some new strings on my EUB, I play jazz fusion on it so I'd occasionally need to bow them. What strings should I try in your opinion to get a fat acoustic DB sound preserving the opportunity to use the arc on them? Thanks a lot for your answer, Daniele from Italy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BassBus Posted December 2, 2009 Share Posted December 2, 2009 (edited) Any DB string should do for CR4Ms as long as they have a steel core. Without that they won't work with the mag pups. Helicore Hybrids, Helicore Orchestral, Pirastro Flexocors, and Pirastro Obligatos seem to have been used a lot. EDIT: Strike the Obligatos unless you don't want to use the mag pups. They have a synthetic core. You can find lots of info at [url="http://www.talkbass.com/forum/showthread.php?t=115808"]NS EUB Megathread[/url] and [url="http://www.talkbass.com/forum/showthread.php?t=543113"]NS Design WAV4 megathread part II[/url] if you can be bothered to waid through them.
