I hope it's OK to put this in this section. I just wanted to know what kind of strings some of the Geddy Lee players use. I just got a GL yesterday and I don't know what strings came on it, I guess Fender(?). Any input is appreciated...thanks.

I put some Chromes on.. I use to have DR Marcus Millers but I like the sound of flats on the GL more. |

Yup flats sound good and feel good on the GL, also ..IMO it really helps dampen the fret clack that I'm not fond of.
I put flats on my Jazz basses, rounds on the P.  |
