    solid replacement string

    Bought this individual .095 gauge string to replace a snapped one on my main long scale bass setup. The nickel-plated steel roundwound feel is smooth under the fingers and reduces hand fatigue during long practice sessions. The tone is quite bright initially, though it settled down nicely after a week of playing. Delivery was fast and safe.
