| Nov 24, 2020 at 5:32 | comment | added | Edward | Lumped strings are uncommon/new for electric bass, so it's likely that you've never played a lumped string. I only know of one person/company that makes them, and their associated research paper was submitted October 11, 2019 | |

The patent has a good drawing of the string here: patentimages.storage.googleapis.com/ff/6a/41/dee1da26db1b3f/… I hadn’t noticed that on any of my bass stings in the past but I also rarely use taper wound strings like these that get thinner where they cross the saddle, like piano strings do. | |
