For Sale- very good strings, but I've decided to go with flats on a couple of my basses for a new start-up classic rock band that I've just joined.
I love this medium light guage range because it's a happy medium between the .105 and .100 e string. The...

But not a bright sound.
Felt really smooth and tension seemed really low for bends .
I used to use them all the time.
The only thing theyre good for (IMO) is for easing new players in, before they slaughter their fingers .
Fuck them.

I recently bought these strings and installed them on a Kramer Focus 7000(34" scale P bass) for about an hour. The bass has a Schaller roller bridge so no kinks at the tail-end of the strings. They were carefully removed, and repacked in all the original...

Hi,
I was wondering which gauge of strings to use on a Lap Steel.
Will standard lights i.e 12s work fine?
Also what kind of slide to use?
Thanks,

I'll pre-bend the string about 20-30 deg or so to help out but it's because i'm a bit of a perfectionist (i count the string wraps on the tuner spindles as well) it doesn't effect sound, or anything.
