Aquila® Silver Rumbler U•BASS® Strings

First time with Rumblers

I've played U-Bass for 13 years and tried lots of different strings. These are good, quite a lot better than the white Thundergut strings, which are too sticky and had intonation problems. My faves are still Thunder Reds, but the Rumblers are about as good as the Road Toads that come standard on most U-Basses.

Perfect new strings for my Rumbler Ubass

Per Kala Support Specialist, Ian, I purchased these strings to replace the old round wound strings that were on the used 2013 Rumbler I recently acquired. Ian sent me some advice on installing them and included a video of a Kala tech installing them. These 2 things really helped me as the strings are totally different than anything I ever used before. They do stretch, but not as much as plain nylon gut. Once in tune, they stay pretty much in tune. These strings fixed all the intonation issues from the old strings! The only downside is the "slightly sticky" feel they have, but that was expected based on other reviews. They fit the nut on this 2013 too. I recommend these strings.

So Far So Good

They seem to be staying in tune better then I expected. Make sure the knot on the end of the string is tight. I use 2 pliers to pull it tight. I did notice that the strings are not all the same shade of gray.
