What is the favorite string you like to play on on your bass. Mine is the A string. It has the perfect sound being further in on the board, but still quite low, but very clacky and full of tone. Thats why I love it. |

|  | Yeah, I've got the moves like Jagger. | | Join Date: Oct 2006 Location: G.R. MI | | | I'm partial to the good old E string. I like to make the glasses behind the bar rattle. Of course my drummer thinks I only use the E and the A anyhow. I do seem to spend a lot of time with them.

|  | Jammin for the Lamb! | | Join Date: Dec 2006 Location: Chicago - NW Burbs | | | I also use the "A" string alot...but I have also found myself gravitating to the "E" when I play a 5 string...not sure why....maybe I just "feel comfortable" one string below the top.....the "A" SEEMS the most versatile, although I know that is not REALLY true...
opening another side light - what position do you feel most comfortable in????
I like playing in the 5th position (i.e. where the "E" is on the "A" string)....I like it because I can go up or down with ease from there and I can get "variety" in the tunes we play (i.e. I am not always "stuck" with the same pattern).....
anyone?
