What strings would be most suitable for two guitars.
1)Aria Magna
2)Washburn xb-400

I think people would be able to help more if you were more specific. What tone are you looking to achieve? Do you have experience with different strings already? What sort of tension? Do you use standard tuning? Are you looking for a 5 string set?

There are sooo many kinds of strings; more information would be helpful.

Sorry I am unsure about strings , i am fairly new to bass and have only used Ernie ball super slinky 45-105 on my washburn and i was just looking for a few other opinions

sorry for the inconvenience

Ernie Balls are as good as any.

Just go out and try some different stuff 'til you find a set you like.
AND LOSE THE ERNIE BALLS FOR THE LOVE OF GOD.

My personal reccomendations:

Rounds:
Rotosound Swing 66

Flats:
D'Addario Chromes

DRs are awesome.

Since they are red, the green dr neons would prob give them a bit of a xmassy look, Prob not good choice cept maybe for that time of yr. Lol. Orange on red could work as could yellow. Pink prob not, unless dark red basses.

But yeah DR are great strings. I like their round core roundwounds.
