Best strings for country and bluegrass music...

[TERESA HESS]

I have an old Cortez 4 string bass and an old Fender 4 string bass.....what are the best strings for these 2 bass guitars to play country and bluegrass music? Thanks
Would you give me some ideas for a great amplifier? I have an old Peavey amp. Thanks

The best strings are the ones that feel and sound good to you. It's really as simple as that. The amp question has a similar answer.

Theres no such thing as best string for that ,usic. Which is why pros playing that music play most of the major label brands. Some like ghs, some like daddario, some like rotosound, some like dr, the list goes on from there among pro country and bluegrass players. Youd be much further ahead thinking more in terms of what basses are played by pro country and bluegrass bands that you like. And getting one of those according to personal pref.

Theresa, just out of curiousity, what model is your 'old Fender 4 string' bass ?? ... and what are you currently using for strings that you like/dont like that prompts you to ask the question ?? ...

.. as far as amps, nothing wrong with that 'old Peavey' ... in fact that 'old Fender 4 string' strung with well worn in rounds or a flat of choice, and that 'old Peavey' sound just like the ticket ... for a lot of things ... (especially if you have a big strong buck to move that 'old Peavey' around for ya ...
