slick round
The run of basses coming through the shop rolls on with this super clean Modulus five string! It was set up with a set of Ken Smith Slick Rounds medium stainless (44-62-84-106-130). The carbon fiber neck and Aguilar 18V OBP-1 preamp deliver the punchy signature sound that Modulus is known for.
The player wanted to try a new set of strings on his 5 string bass. He decided to go with a set of Ken Smith Slick Round [44-62-84-106-130]. These strings are similar to flat wounds but still retain more of the brightness found with regular round wound strings. These strings are also known as half rounds. Check them out, they're a really cool mix between flats and rounds.
