| | | | yeah the strings i played were in guitar center, they dont carry any TI strings as far as i know. i thought it was rotosounds at first, but from what i've heard those are very bright, these strings were not. |

| | ...Bluesin' and Funkin' | | Join Date: Jul 2004 Location: Montreal, Quebec, Canada | | | My Yamaha RBX270 bass at school (which is the school's), came with roundwounds with red stringyness on the ends. I haven't ever changed the strings, they are like 4 years old now. I don't change them simply because I don't feel like spending money on new strings for a bass that isn't really mine. I don't know brand the strrings are, they're just the ones that came with the bass when the school bought it. But I guess it doesn't really matter since I don't really like them. I believe that they are nickel plated though. And they have gold colored circle thingies on the bridge end.

| | | I myself enjoy them....i put em on both my basses except for the pbass which i string with D+R highbeams
i like to call the wrapping "string socks"...it is more confusing to my guitarist and drummer

BTW, my Cort Action 4 came with red wrapping on both ends. | | Thread Tools | Search this Thread | | | |
