Product Reviews for D'Addario Electric Bass Half Round Pure Nickel Soft Long 5-String, .045 - .130, ENR71-5
D'Addario Electric Bass Half Round Pure Nickel Soft Long 5-String, .045 - .130, ENR71-5NelsonDecember 26, 2011After playing some Fender steel flatwounds, I wanted to try something with a bit more brightness but still has that emphasis on the fundamental. I heard about half-rounds and thought I would give them a try. The G string is just what I'm looking for, has that "out of box" brightness, and an emphasis on the fundamental. The D and A strings however, have no "out of box" brightness and sound like they're ready to be changed even though ther're brand new. The E and B strings have no overtones whatsoever, and are just thuddy bass notes. Incredible differences between strings, I don't know where to put these on a 'brightness bar' because there are 3 different tones in the same box!
