Augustine strings question
Classic/Black low tension or Classic/Red? Which is the mellower set?

Augustine basses:
Black- low tension Red- medium tension Blue- high tension Augustine nylon trebles: Classic- med-low tension (more like medium, to me) Imperial- higher tension Regal- highest tension To me the Classic/Black set would be the mellowest.

You are welcome, Barry. The Augustine Classic trebles are sweet sounding- especially the first string- to me. I tend to like fairly low tension strings
though, so YMMV.

Low tension are definitely the mellowest, but the feel is quite different.
I like to use regular or even high tension and control the mellow factor with my hands. For a guy like me who doesn't have amazing technique, I find a higher tension string actually gives me more dynamic range. |
