New string try out day for BN5 .. Dean Markley SR2000
I don't often use string other than the f-bass / la bella supersteps. Tried Sadowsky steele string on BN5 once and I took it out after a weekend .
SR2000 was suggest by a Taiwanese session bassist (master Pumpkin) who's currently in Beijing .. and I got to find these strings during my mini-honey moon trip this year in California.
Here's my thoughts after I put on these strings
- tapered E and B makes them ready to go .. the change was painless
- Less string/hand noise all over
- Strings bounce nicely
- low to low-mid sounded bigger and fuller
- hi sounded a little brittle
Maybe it's still new but it's definitely a fun move that's worth to try.
I've talked to master Pumpkin after then he pointed out there's some quality issues with these strings .. and that happens when he buy 20sets , 1 or 2 sets had some issues, then he switched to the SS series also by Dean Markley, apparently SS has less Hi. Well, that's how the pros buy strings. I'm totally satisfied with my first pack, and have a 2nd one standing by. What is your favourite string?
