Just went to go pick up my favorite strings at Guitar Center, the Marcus Miller Fat Beams. Getting ready to pay for them and the guy behind the counter says, " Oh wait, we have the 2 pack plus dvd for $49.00." Wow 2 pks plus DVD, Ring er up!! Killer concert DVD plus bonus dvd. Go get it while ya can. |

I used them for a while on my old Kramer with very good results, but they sounded pretty awful on my P-bass. |

Granted I'm not going for a traditional sound, but i get a ton of thump with them.

| | | It's odd how some strings will sound great on some basses, and awful on others. I once put Hi-Beams on my Jazz Bass, and they just sounded thin, tinny and floppy. The Hi-Beams and the EMG's on the Jazz just didn't match up well. Anyway, I put the same strings on my Rickenbacker 4003, and now they sound great. I re-strung the Jazz with the nickel Lo-Riders, now it sounds great too. I also use the nickel Lo-Riders on my Ric V63, and my OLP/MM SR and they sound excellent. I'm pleased with both types on strings. |
