| | | | Question About P-Bass Strings
Sign in to disble this ad
If you only had one bass and it was a Fender Precision Bass,what kind strings would you string it up with ? I wonder what strings would be considered the most versatile on a P-Bass.

YMMV.

YMMV. | Interesting,I have thought about giving these a try. I have a MIA Fender Precision and am looking for the most versatile string for a P-Bass that can cover the most ground. |

For me it would be either those or Rotosound RS66 Swing Bass strings. Never had the Roto's on my P, but they sound really good on my Jazz V, so I want to give them a try. Fender 7250's are also amazing.

Give em a shot, they're only like $22.00 from Jack's Music.

If it's the only P-bass and I have my Laklands, it's be Lakland Joe Osborn flats (or GHS Precision Flats) in a similar gauge. That's because if I only had one bass I'd want strings that cover a wider range of tones than a great set of flats. But because I have the advantage of having mulitple basses, my P wears the best flats I've found in over 30 years of gigging.
