"AQUILA 68U THUNDERGUT - BASS UKULELE STRING SET - GDAE TUNING The Italian string manufacturer Aquila attaches great importance to tradition, but at the same time it develops its own materials, which offer advantages in everyday use. These strings convince by their tone, stability and intensity. Thundergut is a special, very dense and elastic synthetic compound that enables a far better performance than conventional polyurethane and silicone rubber strings. Thundergut strings are characterized by their fast and stable intonation. Very powerful sound. During tuning there is no excessive stretching of the strings, so they can be directly wound, eliminating the annoying pre-stretching that is common with traditional polyurethane and silicone rubber strings. Compared to silicone rubber, the strings are less "sticky"and are not too slippery. Furthermore, the strings do not twist as easily during playing as comparable strings made of polyurethane. FEATURES: - 1x String Set 68U ThunderGut Bass Ukulele - Tuning: GDAE - Scale: (18"-21") - All 4 strings from THUNDERGUT - Strings specially designed for Kala U-Bass and Ashbory Bass"

No point reviewing guitar strings - everyone has their favorites anyway. Well, maybe balanced tensions. But these are objectively better than what come on a Kala Rumbler Ubass. The tuning stability is far better now. My only complaint is with the Rumbler not having a backplate for restringing, which means my fourth string now has a nick in it from desperately sliding it around trying to find the freaking hole before I figured out the better way to do it. Thus the point of the review, for anyone with a Rumbler:The strings come knotted on one end. Knot the other end, then unknot the pre-knotted end, saving the little plastic ring on it, and slip it through the hole on top. It's much easier to get the string to come out of the soundhole than to come out of the tiny string hole.Grab it through the soundhole - some hooking tool, even just a pen or a marker with a bent clip, is helpful. Pull it up through the soundhole all the way, so the knot you made is what's holding it. This way, no part of the string you'll actually be touching when playing has anything rubbing against it forcefully.Slip the plastic ring back on and reknot it, using pliers to pull it very, very tight. Use force, and try to get the knot to rest in the same position as before if possible. Which can be a bit tricky.Then pull the string back up and string it, and the only nicked bits should be bits that don't matter.I should really buy another set now that I figured that method out, 'cause otherwise I'll be stuck with a nicked string forever, as these things, like nylon strings, last for freaking ever. Except there's no wound bits for grime to get stuck in, so even longer than that.
