New bass and trying out Weed Wacker Strings

I recently ordered a rockabilly double bass in black from Thomann. This is a quick video comparison of the original orchestral steel strings and a set of Slap Happy Weed Wackers which are much better suited for psychobilly music and slap bass.

I have a Cremona sb-2 bass, the FMI Weed Wacker E doesn’t fit into the tuner machine.. do I drill them bigger?

[@taronson76]

yes

[@diegomolineroolschansky8930]

hi. Nice bass... I got the other one that you showed before. And i put this strings . The happy slappy.. what can i say. I put it yesterday. But im not sure if to keep it there. I wanted to try slap 😅

I think the weedwhackers are a bit too low tension. Next thing im gonna try are the steel core weedwhackers.

[@diegomolineroolschansky8930]

They are... I tried again today... The E string is very soft sound. Not sure. I love the sounds in the two firsts strings ..

What’s the brand of the double bass ?

[@samuelzetterman]

Theyre Thomanns own brand, one is the Thomann 111BR and the other is a Thomann Rockabilly BK

Are you left handed?

[@samuelzetterman]

Nope, the video was filmed with the front camera of my phone so its flipped. 👍
