What strings are on my L2000?

[810wmb]

i know they are D'Addario's, but what gauge?

nickles?

out of my 4 basses, the G&L is the only one i'm thinking of keeping rounds on.

i'm liking 'em...but what are they?

EXL170 - .045 to .100 regular light nickel

Ken...

[810wmb]

thank you sir!

i've never considered D'Addario's for bass - i've lived and died by DR's and TI's

[uninick2]

What about ASAT Basses? Also DA?

ken - i started to order today...yeah, it took me a while..

i went to guitarsbyleo's website...linked to it by g&l's homepage - it says the gauges are 45-105


anyone know without a doubt?

it's set up just right, sounds great, i don't want to change a thing..

Got me!

I have a couple 45-100 sets here that were given to me at open houses, where I was told that they are the same strings as installed new.

AGGGHHH CRAP!

now i have a possible 3 choices?

i wasn't trying to screw with you over the guages, just had some conflicting info...

so i wonder what to go with?

is the guitarsbyleo site run by some employees with us common folk or is it just people who love g&l's?

Huh? 3? Maybe I was confusing. If so, sorry. To the best of my knowledge they use .045 to .100 EXL170SL strings.

You actually have a lot more than three choices if you consider the various manufacturers. Personally, I prefer Thomastik-Infeld strings.

Slinkys? TI's? Rounds? Flats?

In the end, you're going to go with what you like. If you venture away from D'Addario, you'll probably have a minor trussrod tweak to do.

Company owned and enthusiast run. There is very little official info disseminated there.

sorry, just 2 choices - i though you had changed gauges since the first post, my bad

as i said in the first post of mine, i really like the D'Addario rounds. after 10 years of playing, the first rounds i liked (besides lo-riders)



thanks for taking the time to try to give this dumb ol boy some answer!

Never had a problem putting 45-105 strings on any G&L.

If about 3 years or so ago yes, if more recent the lights.

Back when they used SIT they were 45-105 and the D'Addario are the 45-100.
