| | | | Duff McKagan Hey, do any of you guys know what strings Duff used to record the "Appetite for destruction" album? |

|  | Registered User | | | | | I'm sure he used Rotosounds. You can pretty much copy his tone with a Fender with both P/J pups, Roto's, and settibg your mids full on.
His signature bass is fantastic to play.

|  | #1 in Bass Droppings | | | | | Backe then, those strings were called "Spacers". Black anodized stainless steel roundwounds with multicolored silk wraps. I bought six sets and although they sounded great, the anodized black would wear off pretty quickly. Then they changed to "Silver Spacer"; nickelplated steel roundwounds with multicolored silks. Then they were discontinued. |

| | | | So Rotosound with a G&K amp, is my best bet |

| | | | Despite having a signature bass, I wonder how many times he uses his beloved Aerodyne Jass instead? |
