Which strings are you using? It seems to be hard to find strings thick and long enough.
Fender Bass VI strings?
Well I should have asked where Bassus gets his strings cause it's not easy to find them here. The place where I bought it recommended me regular baritone strings which are too short and thin.
I might remember incorrectly but I think Fender has discontinued their VI strings. They're not to be found in the eu anyway. Labella makes a set but they're expensive. Their Hellcat vi strings are a lot cheaper and it would be nice to know if they fit. So I'm kinda looking for options.
, so that's considerably lower than even the Bass VI. It needs a tad lighter touch to playing than what I'm used to, or out of tune it dives, but, You know, at the moment it works for me a-okay. My bass playing style has come for long now mostly in chords with dirts, distortions and fuzz so I have lots of old bass string set around.
I've got a LaBella baritone set waiting - AND leftovers from the light D'Addario 8-string set and Hamer 12-string sets, which MIGHT work better for the low end. I'll tell You guys if I broke the saddle - like with my Hamer Chaparal-12 - or not.
