What i was wondering was what strings should I put on my warwick to get the best growl out of it? |

| | | | I have found Warwick's growl no matter what you put on them. I might suggest DR Strings Lo-Riders. They had a wicked sound.
I have my Corvette Standard 5 strung with TI Flats right now. Still growling.. |

I can't break down to buy due to the prices and weight, but love that growl. I agree w/ dbd1963, they growl plugged into just about everything.

They added a little nastiness to the signature Warwick tone. Before that, I used Blue Steels for a long time, and they were a nice mix.
Right now I'm using Circle K strings. I've found that they make the bass more responsive overall, allowing me to really make my Warwick bark when I need it, and just a little growl when I don't. |
