Sign in to disble this ad
I need something that give a "good, tight" tone with the slap and a "crisp, detailed" pop for my 35" scale stiletto studio
I was thinking Peavey strings but someone recommend some Dr strings or something. What do you recommend? |

My favorite slap strings:
- DR Hi-Beams
- Rotosound Swing Bass RS66s
Both are stainless steel. I absolutely do NOT like the sound of nickel strings in slap/pop, unless you've got a maple fingerboard.
