Recommendations on 6 string strings

[eddievanbassman]

Hey I thinking of what strings I should get for my 6 string. This is my first extended range bass and I just want some input. I love Rotosounds but I wanted to get some different opinions. I want a good slap sound and fingerstyle sound. And I play rock and funk.

I bought DR hi-beams for mine.....they have stayed bright now for about 2 months with moderate gigging. I think I found them on Amazon for about $25.

Looking in the history I guess they were more.....sorry like $40

A great value are the Carvin rounds. Made by La Bella, a good all-around string.

Try a set of Carvin flats as well ...made by GHS.

I prefer light gauge stainless roundwounds on my 6 string fretted bass. I play a lot of slap / rock / funk stuff...

I haven't found anything I like more than D'Addario XL's. I've tried pretty much everything out there, and never found there to be an improvement worth paying a higher price. I've also never gotten a bad string, FWIW.

For stainless I like DR Hi-Beams on my 6. For nickle I like D'addario, and for flats I like Rotosound.
