Boomers or Slappers?

Sign in to disble this ad
I've only used DR strings in the past and currently have Lo-Riders on my Stingray H with the one piece maple neck. I'm thinking about branching out and could use some advice / opinions on whether GHS Boomers or LaBella Slappers would sound better with my set up. All opinions welcom. And thanks.

I agree im always amazed at how long boomers retain there brightness (at least for me they usually stay nice and broken in for at least a year )
