[5stringedsoul]

Rotosound RB40 for me, one of the cheapest i can find la, strings go dead after awhile, no point getting expensive ones, i bought mine at Davis for $24

 

[Z3r0_G]

rotosound yes.. find it especially nice on fenders to get that fender vibe..

and warwick steel strings.. nothing else that growls as much

 

[RentaBass]

DR Hi Beams, .100 - .045

 

[tim_1002]

ernie ball slinky. nice and bright. doesn't go completely dead on me when it dies.

the cheap rotosounds feel like sandpaper to me... way too unfinished.

 

[yourgrandpa]

I quite like DR.

I think my current ones are dead-ish already though...hafta get round to restringing

 

[jbarks]

DR Hi-Beams .45s
Thomastik-Infelds

And whatever stock strings came on my BB414... that stuff is just awesome!

..

thomastik infeld powerbass and jazz flats. but they are expensive.

powerbass: my last set lasted me over 1 1/2 years before buying a new set last week. kept dipping them in methylated spirit. hurhur

jazz flats: have a used set from 2004, but waiting for that P bass to slap on to

I also like DRs.

 

[litford]

yeahh, i play DRs too, 0.45..

played a set of rotosounds once but thought they were too bright.

 

[cheyen]

ernie ball strings are good,... especially for that crisp funky sound.

Wat about Exilir??

 

[warwickw]

Elixir
La Bella tapered strings
Dean Markley Will Lee tapered strings

 

[zen1000]

I've just tried the Curt Mangon strings from Guitar 77 and guess what. I find its perfect especially for slapping. I use a G&L L2k and its got a nice bright and clear string sound to it. They are selling it at an 19 bucks only man! Don't think its permanent though...

 

[ahkiatt]
