What are the best strings for some S&P.

Tone is a nightmare for me when slapping. A new amp would help but tone starts at the strings. What does everyone recomend?

Ernie ball slinky, but I'm sure that what bass you're using is a little important too

For the sound I like, light tension/light gauge strings do the trick. Elites stainless steels are great, I use the 035-095 set.

I like Sadowsky Blue Label SS strings. It's got plenty of brightness and tension but still has plenty of flexibility to get under there and pop it. I love the tone I get from mine.

I just put on a set of DR Fatbeams Light last week and so far they are my favorite for slapping. Lots of posts on these strings.

Tell us what you have for gear and that will help us help you

I kinda think action / EQ is more important,....

I have elixir strings as standard on my K5, action is already set up for awesome easy slapping and with the right EQ gets a nice tone...

only thing I dont like about elixirs is that they sound overly bright with a pick,... awesome slap and finger tone tho

I'm really happy with the slap sound i get with my Rotosound Steve Harris signature flats. They're high tension strings and actually quite bright for being flatwounds. They provide a nice lo-fi slap sound I really like.

I don't slap very much though.
