Dear Bill and the List,
I recommend Mimmo's Aquila's D's to the basses, for which there still
are no NNG's/NGE's. Wound on NNG, I guess. But much, very much better
than the old Pyramid type wound strings. And if I have understood it
right, Mimmo is developing a better solution: loaded NNG's/NGE's!
Best,
Arto

Hi,
Just wondering if anybody had found a good way to take the worst of the
boom and everlasting sustain out of overwound basses? Loaded gut is
'way beyond my budget, so anything that would make, say, Kuerschner or
Pyramid basses a bit tamer would be helpful.
I have heard about people who put a blob of Blu-tack on each string
where it emerges from the bridge, but that sounds messy and unsightly.
Hopefully there's a less cringe-making solution.
Thanks!
Bill
