D'Addario half wounds

[aksteve]

well, i pulled the trigger on some new strings for my peavey millenium. I had been looking for something inbetween rounds and the flats i already have, and i was leaning towards the ghs pressures but ended up getting a set of the D'Addario half rounds in Heavy gague, because that is what they had. and i love em! I have heard that strings make a difference in tone but wow! SOOO much better than the stock strings!! so far i love em! anyone else use these?

I have a set of D'Addario half wound strings, too. I love them. All the boom of a flat wound, with the punch of a round wound. I found them hard to get. I had to order them special.

i got lucky...they didnt have anything on the shelf, but the guy said he had some in the back. they are old school, like from 92 lol!! but they were in the original package and were sealed. he gave me a deal on em as well, so i figured why not, nw i can say i use "vintage" strings on my bass!! LOL

just noticed that these are stainless and not nickle. i dont think they make these any more?

Stainless would like be a bit brighter than nickel - nice "antique" find!

Mine are regular nickel. Your stainless are probably out of "print", but they still make the half rounds in nickel.
