Maybe try some flats on that P bass !!
I’ve thought about trying flat wounds just to try it. I assume I’ll prefer the sound of round wounds for what I play, but who knows. Probably should give them a try. Thanks for the suggestion! 👍
"Do New Bass Strings Sound Better?" Depends _entirely_ on what you want to hear! Playing in a wedding/party band, I needed to cut thru the midrange cacophony onstage. So fresh strings were an absolute delight, one that I treated myself to as often as I could afford.
You probably put a decent amount of wear on those strings as well playing in a wedding/party band! I'm guessing my your UA-cam name you play a P Bass?
@@DadRockAndGuitars Ironically no; my first name starts with P and I play bass, hence the handle. I've owned a couple of P 's, but for decades I've played various 5-strings (including one boutique Precision style 5er).
@@pbasswil Yeah, 5 strings are great! I love my P bass, but it would be perfect if it were 5 string. I've looked at a few other brands, but I don't play bass enough to justify it. Thanks for watching and appreciate the comments 👍
That’s Interesting! Have an incredible weekend! 🤩❤️✨
Thanks Juan! You have a very cool channel. Very nice video work showing your travels. 👍
Have a great weekend as well!
I have yet to find bass strings I like better than Ken Smith bass strings. They retain their brightness and tone longer and more consistently than any other brand I've yet tried.
Ok cool! I haven't heard of Ken Smith bass strings. I will definitely add that to my list to try next time. Sounds like what I'd be looking for in a set of strings. Thanks for the suggestion! 👍
😂😂 when I see "Dad Rock" I always expect dad jokes.
New strings are brighter and more noticeable with the pick. Changing strings is worth it when it is needed, IMO. In this case, totally is!
I don't usually include a dad joke, but one sneaks in there every now and then 🤣
I agree, the new strings were definitely more noticeable with the pick.
Thanks for watching and appreciate the comment 👍
I can't hear any difference with fingerstyle. With the pick the new strings sound "brighter" and I prefer the duller tone of the old strings.
Definitely more obvious with the pick. Thanks watching and commenting!
BTW, cool channel! Watched your old video about Stephen King's The Dark Tower. I read up to book 3 in high school and loved them, but then he took a break and I never got back to them. Need to do that now. Thanks for the reminder 👍
@@DadRockAndGuitars oh, thanks! You should go back. They are some wild books with serious editing issues and I still like them. 😁
I don't hear a difference. And in a full mix no one ever will, I believe
Definitely not night and day difference in this case. I wouldn't have worried about it for most things at this point. Thanks for watching and appreciate the comment 👍
