2821 Power Slinky : Total growl

12 years ago

I was looking for strings that would allow me to tune my Precision bass down to BEAD.

So after some string sets with up to .115 I struggled to get a clear tone not getting 'mushy' and having a string tension thats not to low.

So I took the lower four strings from this set and put them on my P-bass.

I had to rasp the saddle a bit as the strings didn't fit but after that and tuning the strings it was all good.

So the P-bass was tuned to BEAD and when I played at our rehearsals it was awesome. Punch, deep rich Bass and a growl that made my Precision a real beast.

I have never heard any strings that produce that much growl (and I tried many. From Rotosound to D'addario, from Pyramid to Warwick Black label and so on)
