Picato half rounds

[fenderbender82]

Has anybody tried them? What do they sound like? I don't have very much experience with half rounds in general, but some people seem to think they just sound like old, worn, rounds and that's not what I like. I am a long time TI flats user, but now I feel like trying something else, and since the Picatos are very nicely priced I thought of giving them a try.

I am a huge fan of Picato 735 LHY. Power, tone, harmonics and a fair amount of brightness.

The Roundwounds are cracking, so the half rounds may be in the same ball park.

As you say, not expensive, so IMO, well worth a go.


Cheers.

I use them for everything now. Love 'em!

Enough vintage vibe for my Soul band and enough wallop for my rock & blues work. Noblisters, super smooth feel and they're kind on my frets.

Can't recommend them highly enough!
