hi,

thank you.

I play w/nels all the time w/perk's band _banyan_ and my own _black gang_ too. amazing guitarist. remember, bass cats look good making others look good (or sound good).

the aligator lounge has been closed and now a restaurant for some time now. sad. spaceland in silver lake (so cal) has some adventurous stuff though.



on bass, watt

I read allover the net that DR are the best strings on this planet.
I play slap. Are they best possible strings for slap? I have to know cause i wanted to buy 10 packs from USA.
1. What is better DR Sunbams or DR Lo-riders???
I know that Sunbams are Nickel Plated Round Core and Lo-riders are Stainless Steel Hex Core strings. On DR page (http://www.drstrings.com/LoRider1.htm) they say that Lo-riders are for slap, pop and tapping. But many people here on Talkbass said that Sunbeams are the best. So I am confused then.
2. What is better for slap steel or nickel?
3. What gauges are better for slap 50-110 or 45-105?
