Question Bright strings for me

Sign in to disble this ad
I own a Schecter Custom 5 that is all stock. I just want suggestions as to what would be good strings that are bright but not over the top being that the bass is already pretty bright. I've tried DR hi-beams heavy guage but those didn't fit my fancy. The cheaper the better, too.

Not yet. Would you suggest them? I have heard mixed opinions but most have been relatively positive.

D'addario XL stainless steel are ok. If they are too bright for you try XL nickels. And they are cheap

Rotosound Swingbass 66. My only 5er has these, and they're bright without going overboard. My bass came set up with DR Hibeams as well, and they sounded dull and flat, the Rotos brought new life to my bass.
