Question In doubt with these 3 set of strings

Sign in to disble this ad
Hi guys

I just bought a bass, which strings needs to be changed.
I think I'm gonna go with DR strings, though I really have no experience myself with any brand, I've just read that they are good when playing funk, and for slapping and so on.

If we say the price doesn't matter now, what set of string would you go with then?

DR Hi-Beams
DR Lo-Riders
DR Marcus Miller

Well, had to put the Marcus Miller strings on the list, maybe its just for branding but if the prize is the same why not?
Whats you thoughts? And would you even recommend another brand than DR?

Thanks!

Low Riders, because their nickel. Unless you mean the stainless ones, then I wouldn't use them either.

I don't care for stainless or DR strings very much.

I love DRs....
I use mainly Lo-Riders, 'cause they feel "stiffer" due to the hexagonal core they're wound on.
Lo-Riders are good for slapping, but I find Hi-Beams and Marcus Miller better yet; I'm uncertain as to the difference between Hi Beams & Marcus Miller DRs, as they're both Round-core, and Stainless steel, AFAIK...
