Excellent strings for U Bass

I had the typical rubber strings on my U Bass and struggled to get them to stay in tune. At the recommendation of a friend, I tried these string and am very happy with the result.

These saved my U*Bass

These strings completely transformed my U*Bass. Wonderful tone from top to bottom, better volume even unplugged. The added string tension has made the U*Bass harder to play. I plan to file the nut and lower the saddle somehow if necessary. It will be worth it, the rubber strings are never going back on.

Kala UBass Strings

Short version: these are perfect strings for my needs. Long version: after wearing out the factory strings, my Kala needed some new strings. Restringing the bass is insanely simple. The new ones far surpassed what I hoped for in touch, sound, controllability, and price. The metal wrapping around nylon core is just right. There's still plenty of the full upright-ish sound,… read more but the feel is much more familiar. HINT: Like all other nylon core strings, these take a day to fully stretch. If you need the U Bass on Friday, change your strings on Wednesday, and retune often. Mine settled in enough to use on a recording project Thursday evening, and were fine for 2 gigs and more recording for the weekend. Yes, I'll buy them again.
