I am going to order me a 6 string bass and want to put rounds on it. Since this is my first string bass and suggestions, Oh its a 35" scale ESP B-206SM

I recommend any of the different DR sets of strings. I personally use DR Hi-Beams, but have use many of their other sets and highly recommend them all.

I like DRs and Rotosounds. Ernie Balls are good too.

I also have a b206 right now it has drs on it it sounds good. If you were considering round wounds I would suggest sundbeams I have them on one of my 4 strings and love them. They are ver warm.

I Really like DR's I use to use Fat Beams on my J Bass for years. Would they have to be long scale since they are 35" They do not show a long sclae in Hi-Beams or Fat Beams in a 6 string version. Thanks
