Sign in to disble this ad
Hey guys, this morning I sat down to play my bass and as I sit down, the string higher than D snapped off. Really weird, happened randomly.
So anyway, this is the first time I'll be buying a new pack of bass strings and I need to know what I should get. To let people know, I don't want a really heavy or a really light gauge just the gauge that most Squier P-Basses come with and I want a nice bright and metallic sound that lasts a while. Thanks in advance. |

Back to topic, id say get some elites stadiums if you live in the uk, and DR HB if you live anywhere else!
Get 105-85-65-45 as they seem to be the standard.

Maybe the TB standard should be the "F##" string?

I was scared of messing up as it's my first time changing strings on bass and if I messed up it was $50 down the drain. But infact when changing them I found it was somewhat easier than changing strings on a guitar. So I'm quite satisfied, thanks for all the help guys. Peace. | | Thread Tools | Search this Thread | | | |
