The difference in sound between the strings

[Jeff Tranauskas]

I use the Slick Wounds on my frettless six (insert name of low end bass here).
The strings make the bass really sing and IMHO are the only string to be used on a frettless.
Previously I used flat wound LaBella's but they are a thing of the past since I "discovered" the Smith Slick Wound string.

Well, never mind. Just found out. May have to give them a try. I've been lovin the Taper Core Medium's (Stainless Steel Round Wounds) just fine.

I currently use rockmaster stainless steels and lately they have been rubbing the crap out of my fingers.Now before you ask,i do play with a low(extremely low) action and a very light touch.What are my choices for a smooth feel on the fingers.Not too bright or dark,somewhere in the low mids.
Ken,Tim,anyone?

Originally I was a straight up DR string man, but after having a in-depth conversation with Ken, he convinced me that I should be utilizing tapered Ken Smith Strings on my Axe. He was right!! The overall tone and brightness is a level above the DR's.
If you love the Low-B like I do and still be able to slap & pop, you got to try them.

Here's a short video of me and the boys working out the kinks to a song we wrote for our praise and worship team, I'm playing the WBT 5 Elite.
