Finally found my strings and gauge

Sign in to disble this ad
After going back and forth on different string type and string gauge. I finally found what i wanted on each of my bass and what string gauge i like best. Here is my conclusion:

1) Fender Jazz: I like 40, 60, 80 and 100 Stainless Steel on this bass cause it feels better on my finger which leads to play better.

2) Warwick Corvette: I like 45, 65, 85 and 105 Stainless Steel on this bass cause it give more balls on and feel better on this bass which leads to play better.

3) Squier Classic Vibe 50 Precision: After using flatwound, Nickel and Steel strings on this bass i finally gone back to Chromes Flatwound on this bass. To me flats just goes much more better on this bass than nickel or steel. Also i like more thump sometimes.

4) Peavey Grind 6 String: Custom Light Gauge Stainless Steel on this bass allow me to get brighter tone and all range of sound on the bass.

Interesting, but it's a lot to remember, isn't it?

I like the same strings no matter what the bass is. (DR Sunbeams 45-100.)

sometimes is alot to remember haha.

I like trying new stuff when i found some new stuff, but always end up going back on certain things cause it doesn't sound good, but at least i won't have to try again on GAS that thing again haha
