String for Tobias Growler

Sign in to disble this ad
I recently got a Tobias Growler 4-string, newer version, from the TB classifieds. I'm liking the feel of it a lot. Wondering if there are any other Growler players out there, and what strings you've settled on, and why. Any and all thoughts welcome....

I owned a Growler 5 for three years and played Ernie Ball power slinkys on it. Thought it sounded perfect...

I tend to lean towards using flatwounds... usually TI's... on my instruments. At the moment, this Growler has roundwounds on it, and I'm wondering if there's a roundwound string that would approach the warmth of flats? I'm wanting to explore the roundwound string world and just asking for suggestions. Thanks...

I have a growler 4 string from 1997, After trying out a lot of different strings i have now settled on DR HIBeams 0.45 - 100 I tried out a pair of
D'addario Chromes flatwounds on it, but I don't think flats suits this bass, I really like flats myself and have flats on all my other basses (even my Music Mann) but the Growler nope. I think the DR's together with the EQ on the growler can give me all the different sounds I want from this bass.
