Hey gang,
So I've never really thought a whole lot about strings...but after seeing a whole section devoted to strings, obviously they're a big deal
I need some suggestions for a starting place...what strings should I look at, which ones should I stay away from. I play an Ibanez BTB1006 (6 string, BEADGC). I like to play a lot of styles, from jazz to slap, lots of harmonics, etc. People I wish I could play like: Wooten, Myung, Flea, Claypool, Jaco. These are the different types of styles I like as well. I can understand if one set of strings won't be good for all these styles...but I just really want a good starting point on where to even start. It's even harder because I play a six string...so things are a little more limited. In the past (on my 5-string) I've just gone into my local store and grabbed whatever D'addario's they had for a 5'er (XL's IIRC). Thanks guys, you all know more about this sort of thing then I do, so please educate me. I also understand that strings can be subjective...and that's ok. I just want a good starting point. I honestly don't even know what's on my bass currently, I would guess whatever Ibanez puts on their BTB basses stock.
