2698C 7string : 6 for 7

9 years ago

It's a pretty decent set of strings, but I lost a the .022 string fairly quickly. It snapped before getting in tune, and I read someone else's snapped too, so take that into consideration.

But the other strings sound great and I still have them popped on my bass after over two years. Just the F string broke fairly quickly so I had to replace that, the rest is great. Even now it's still sounding mildy fresh and very slappable. The feel of the string is nice for all playing techniques I can come up with.

They do feel a bit floppy, I'd like it a bit tighter, but still they do the job fairly well and string choice is limited for a seven string bass. It's probably cheaper than getting seven individual strings though, so it's worth a shot to see if you dig it.

Just be very careful with that .022 string.
