Simple question.

My string gauge on all my basses is 45 65 80 100 (I forget the thickness of the B string on the fiver). I play with fingers and a pick. They sound great both ways. |

They never break and still sound bright and tight after a few gigs with me pounding on them and sweating all over them, hehehe... Love those strings!!!
Cheers! |
