| | | | Best strings for Geddy Lee Jazz Bass?
Sign in to disble this ad
While I like a kind of rich and warm bottom, not so sure if the geddy lee that I currently have is really the instrument for this, however, I am looking for the optimal strings for what I just mentioned without sacrificing it's smooth playability. |
