WarPig Posted June 24, 2010 Posted June 24, 2010 I reccommend Status hot wire half wounds, theyre cheap (well as strings go) and well made. Quote
tauzero Posted June 25, 2010 Posted June 25, 2010 I use Elites on mine, same as most of my fretted basses. Except the Ashbory, of course, that's got silicone strings, but they wouldn't be very successful on a normal bass... Quote

They'd have to be seriously thin to get to the right pitch. Quote
Sarah5string Posted June 25, 2010 Author Posted June 25, 2010 Anyone know of any good youtube vids with good comparisons? Have been looking but most of them are rubbish quality! Quote

tino Posted June 25, 2010 Posted June 25, 2010 [quote name='Sarah5string' post='875880' date='Jun 23 2010, 09:47 PM']I've now got a Ibanez GSR200 which is about to be defretted by my luthier but I need to decide on strings. Apparently my options are flatwound, tapewound or half round... but I am totally clueless with fretless strings as this'll be my first! Any assistance would be appreciated [/quote] I tend to use anything I can find in a skip!!!! Quote
Bilbo Posted June 25, 2010 Posted June 25, 2010 I have used Rotosound Solo Bass strings on a fretless Wal for 24 years with no wear (ebony board so that helps). Here they are in action over the last 10 years (same set of strings for most of them).

Linus27 Posted November 7, 2010 Posted November 7, 2010 (edited) The fretless in this track, is it roundwounds or more likley flats? Plus, what about this one? Rounds or flats? Edited November 7, 2010 by Linus27 Quote
