Bass Ukulele Strings : Great alternative to the standard U-bass type strings

9 years ago

I use these on a second uke bass and they sound great. Whereas the standard Kala U-bass type strings sound quite mellow and double bass-like, these sound more like bass guitar strings. Quite a bit brighter and more harmonics than the plastic/rubber style strings. They fitted my bass great and I must admit I use this bass now more than the one with the original U-bass style strings. The tension of the strings is also slightly higher and if you struggle slightly with standard U-bass strings which tend to 'roll' and move under your fingers a bit when playing then you might want to give these a try - much closer to playing an electric bass. I can't really think of anything negative about them - I've had them on my bass for quite a while and they seem to stay nice and bright sounding. They let me get different tones from the bass depending on how I play - more so than the original strings which sound more or less the same however you play them.
