The stock strings on my Laguna finally sound dead
So I'm in the market for new strings, only problem is I don't know enough to make a good judgment. I'm looking for a warm, punchy tone with a nice "mwahh" to it. Something good for close to the bridge jazz/blues playing, but still good for some funky slapping.
I was thinking roundwounds?? But I don't know.
My DR Black Beauties sound great on my Geddy. Great warm fingerstyle sound, it can also get a great slap sound as well.
Black strings look cool on a Geddy Lee bass too. I had those, and liked them. I think you can get a warm sound without changing string type. Experiment with your amp settings, volume, and tone knobs. I haven't been playing long enough to really know and have only used roundwounds, but I'm trying La Bella 760FM flatwounds on a P bass I just assembled. Never used them before, so the jury's still out. Doesn't hurt to try new things, keeps it fresh.

I have experimented with the preamp on both the bass and my amps head and nothing, I get a very good slap tone and a good chunky tone, but nothing else.
Best strings for a warm tone.
