mid-bassy strings?

Rose_of_Sharyn · #1 11-24-2006, 08:50 PM

I searched the forum already and couldnt find anything too specific so..

I play in a metal band that tunes to #c and b and its time for new strings

I dont want the typical clangy trebly-mid metal bass tone. I like a nice round fat bassy-mid tone I guess i would describe it.

I ususally turn my bass at about 12 o clock and mid at about 3 o clock and ususally keep treble down lowwww..

My question would be, what strings would you suggest? btw I have a five string.

La Bella Black TapeWounds.

1) They are heavy gauge
2) They dont have much treble by their own.
3) They have amazing low mids.
4) They are black!
5) They last a lot!

RotoSound Swing Bass "NICKEL". If you can find them. I had to order them from www.juststrings.com
Dean Markley Nickel Steel or Dean Markley Blue Nickels
I just ordered a set of Sadowsky stings (Nickel). Been hearing people say good things about them.
