| Some more string advice
Sign in to disble this ad
Hi all,
I don't know a lot about strings.
I am looking to replace the strings on my 5-string for the first time... Today I bought DR Black Beauties as back-up pack in case I'd break a string at a gig. I really didn't know what to choose, so it was really a random choice.
I haven't tried them on yet, but after a search, I don't read a lot of good things about them. I'm thinking of returning them to go with a safer, less experimental set.
Basically, I just need some advice on strings, good sounding and playing. I'd rather spend a bit more on good ones than get frustrated by cheaper ones.
Things to consider:
- bright but full sound, good definition
- I slap a lot, but finger more
- smoothe playability (finish important for this?)
- I play funk/fusion mostly. Sound-wise I like Richard Bona a lot, but also Pattitucci.
Should I just put on these Black Beauties and have them a go, or is there a set that I'm likely to dig, one that 'my kinda' players use a lot?
I'd wanna return them so I won't have to get another set if they're really crap.
Hope you can help! Thanks! |
