Sign in to disble this ad
I recently picked up a MIA p-bass and I was wondering if anyone could tell me what type of strings Fender puts on the basses when they ship new from the factory? Usually I like a lighter gauge string but I'm liking whatever the factory set it up with. Anyways I'd appreciate any feedback, thanks.

I really like these strings. Enough that I have bought 2 sets to keep in my Bass case. | | Thread Tools | Search this Thread | | | |
