| | | | Strings that are strung with Carvin basses
Sign in to disble this ad
I own a custom Carvin B-5 and I was wondering what type of strings are strung with it? Meaning, D'Addario nickelwound, Ernie Ball regular slinkys, ect. I hope you get what I mean. As far as I know the gauges are .045 - .130. |

At least until the strings they came with are changed, that is. Carvin strings may be cheap, but I'm cheaper! I wouldn't take off a decent set of strings just to change brands

FWIW, that's what I use, too . . .  . . . Quote:
