The basses that come with the Rubino trebles. Well, I have seen mixed reviews, but personally I like them. They are not bright basses, but they do give my bottom end some extra growl that I like, especially in drop D. At the moment I am happy enough to buy the Rubino trebles and basses together and just use those.

I believe, the basses in the Rubino set are the same as those in the Alabastro set, with the nylgut rather than nylon core.

The Rubino trebles are incredibly stable after the initial stretch to get them up to pitch. After just one of two days they didn't need tuning up anymore.

I'm looking forward to you opinion.
