| | | | The A string. It's the first string I play once I pick up my bass. Plus it sounds the best on my bass.

sounds great on myschecter diamond series, not to deep and not to high pitched. And I also love the E string ^^^in general. Any fret on E is good to |

| | | I prefer the G string. Mostly because it adds a lot of flavor, nice melodies/riffs, and is is great for octaves from A string  |

I'd like to turn it around. I don't use the G often. I'm considering a BEAD tuning.
