0760M Deep Talkin Bass : Excellent for Standard D tuning.

6 years ago

First of all, as far as bass stings are concerned, I am an 100% flat wound guy so don't expect a comparison with any round wound sets.

I've been using an Ibanez GSR300 for the past years (older model) and I installed some 50-100 Fender flats the very fist day I bought it.

The problem was, all my instuments are tuned in Standard D while the bass was in Standard E. Dropping a whole tune while on 50-100 gauge would turn the heaviest strings into a flabby party and the sound would be subpar.

I did the math (string tension calculators) and this particular gauge seemed perfect for what I needed. And the truth is, that IT IS!

Now, while I can tell you upfront that the tension of all the strings seems fine for the standard D tuning, I'd rather not comment on the sound yet as I am used on playing very old (and to some people, dead) strings,

I'll update this review in a year or so to comment on the sound, quality etc.
