| | Registered User | | Join Date: Apr 2006 Location: Madison, WI | | | I used black beauties on my 5-string ibanez soundgear and it looked absolutely amazing -- they blended in so well with the bass that you couldn't see them at all. There was a slight issue in that at first I had a hard time seeing the strings.
Looks aside, I refuse to use anything but DRs, so my choice is doubly obvious. |

| | | | I like the DR for finger style. If you use a pick the black wears off (it can be re-blackened with a sharpie), just appearance, no change to the tone. Just something to think about. |

|  | Registered User | | Join Date: Mar 2004 Location: CO | | | If you are using the B at all and if the bass's B is a little questionalbe, La Bella has a B string that just f****n' rocks. La Bella Hard Rockin' steels are my favorite I have tried on my Sadowsky. Although I have not tried DRs on this bass primarily because I have not had good luck with DR B Strings. And they don't make them tapered.
