| | floppy b strings | | Join Date: Dec 2006 Location: Bronx, NY | | | I'm an XL guy. I use .50 - .110, medium gauge. I believe these are the XL160. Next time I buy a pack I'm probably going back to .45 - .105.

| | Registered User | | Join Date: Jul 2000 Location: Central Illinois | | Most of the time on my USA G&L L1505 I use the super long XLs strung through the body. 
If i can't get them, I use the regular length and install the b and E string through the bridge and the A,D, and G through the body.

| | Happy hobbyplayer | | Join Date: Jan 2006 Location: stockholm, sweden | | | I go with EXL-170's on everything:
fretted/fretless, 4/5-string and 34"/35".
I like to have the same feel of strings whatever bass i play.
