 The pursuit of Geddy
By Pigpen
I normally play flatwound strings, so this was a slight change for me. I’ve been playing bass for 20 years now, and I started out with roundwounds (Blue Steels, etc.). But when I bought my Ibanez bass (which creates a brighter and more active sound than a Fender Jazz, for example), I compensated with easier-to-play flatwound strings, which I’ve played with for the last ten years or more. This time I wanted a little more brightness and attack in my sound so that I could have a little more presence on stage, and that’s what I got. We play a lot of Rush, Yes, U2, Pink Floyd, etc., so these strings added just what I wanted.
The only “problem” was that it took a week or so for my fingers to adjust because they no longer slide as easily as they did on flatwound strings. So this means that the callouses and frets will wear just a little bit more (though certainly not nearly as much as with roundwounds), and my fingers have to move a little extra to compensate for not being able to slide without creating string noise, but it wasn’t that big of a deal.
Now, I understand that my setup is nothing like what Geddy plays. So I already know, of course, that I’m playing different strings (no Rush pun intended) than he plays. However, the combination of my strings and bass create a sound that is very similar to his, and that’s what matters.
Overall, I really like the strings. In the end, these halfwounds are just a tweak and an experiment with my sound that happened to turn out well for me.

 Not for me, but some good qualities
By M. Hendawi
These strings sound really good and punchy on a G+L L-2000 and Squier VM Jazz. I would say they are a little higher tension than I like. I’ve tried both the Medium’s and the Light’s and they both feel a little stiff to me, although honestly, the sound is so good that I end up having fun for a couple of hours straight after I first put them on. It’s just feels a little more strenuous to play for extended periods, but they do really allow you to dig in. I think it’s probably personal preference more than anything else – I just prefer slightly less tension, so I’m continuing my search.
