GHS Pressurewound Bass Strings

GHS Endorser, Dave Pomery, sits down to chat about his favorite bass strings, the GHS Pressurewound Series.

Magnetically active " Alloy 52" slightly flattened in the winding process to provide a bright, great feeeling string with less finger noise.

Is GHS going to venture into balanced tension sets?  I'd be interested in trying the Super Steels and Pressure Wounds but I'm addicted to my balanced tension sets I got from Circle K.

@tylerwylie Hey Tyler, we have been toying around with some prototypes here at the factory, we will let you know when we have something new to try out!

@TheGHSStrings

what would be the best type of the strings that would cut through but still sound dark and mellow?

[TheGHSStrings]

@ejdbk You may want to try they Coated Bass Boomers, they are the classic Boomer string, but a little mellower due to the coating. Likewise the Pressurewound Flats are only slightly flattened and the brightest we offer in terms of a smooth flat wound sound.

@TheGHSStrings

i see,do you have a distributor in the united arab emirates?

[TheGHSStrings]

@ejdbk We actually have two, Thomsun Trading & Arbi Music/Massomi & Rezaei Co.

I like this guy ... Is "Alloy 52" harder on frets than regular nickel ? I have slim vintage frets.

@tylerwylie I second this request. I've experimented with putting together my own balanced sets from singles and I felt it made me relax my technique and be more confident playing wide interval runs as opposed to sticking to proven grooves.

First fingerstyle song?

What was that skeleton song?

[mrdak]

You've got to be the most passionate player I've ever seen. Great job man...... Thank you

[Conduwitts]

what songs is he playing

[cottonfever1221]

@cottonfever1221 Almost forgot,they feel so close to a flatwound which are easy on the hands as well as the frets themselves but give the sound of a worn in(not worn out)set of rounds,I cant say enuff good things about them. As a bass tech I recommend them to players who for one reason dont like the way their neck plays on their bass,and 9 out of 10 times their tension and gauge help to get their bass to play 100% better,on a finicky neck these strings work wonders getting better playability.

[cottonfever1221]

These are the BEST strings to play on a Fender,WHY ? Because the tension of them work well on the thinner necked Jazz bass and they add a nice line drawn down the middle sound between flats and rounds. On a p-bass they give you the well known flatwound sound but can give you some of the crunchy brite-ness of a roundwound without the higher overtones of the roundwound strings. Most of all they are the perfect tension to get a Fender bass to set-up well,AWESOME STRINGS !

@Socioistic It's "Skeleton" by Buddy Mondlock.

The funkiness of that fretboard is awesome.
