hey guys,
I have been using the slicks for the past few months on my Modulus Quantum basses.
For my ears there seems to be a noticeable difference in timbre between the low B-E and the rest of the strings A-D-G-C(if I use a 6-string). Particularly on the low B...its like more of a thud then a clear ringing piano string. The attack I use with a pick seems to even things out...I use a little more of an attack in the lower register. I would like to try something different...any suggestions?
I tried D'Addario Half's a long time ago and didn't like them. Maybe a revisit. We all know that Mike Gordon uses the slicks on his Modulus basses, but are we certain this what Phil actually uses, I never seem to be able to find a picture with the purple silk wrappings on his strings.
