    PBass Session/Recording Brands?

    I'm sure this may have been asked but I can't find the answer I'm looking for. I'm reading/watching video about how pbasses are favored for recording because they fit in the mix nicely. My question is for people that are recording does the studio/engineer/etc care about the brand of pbass?

    Mixing brands and types of strings?

    So I bought a SUB Ray 4 about 7 months ago, which I believe have stock strings of Ernie Ball nickels (45-65-80-100). I immediately replaced them with Elixir Super Lights (40-60-75-95) because those are what I used in my previous main bass, a 35-inch-scale BTB. I have played the SUB as my main...

    It seems like "try before you buy" is virtually impossible outside the biggest brands

    I often see people on this board recommend that you "try before you buy", and while I agree with that in principle, can we just accept that, unless you're looking for a Fender/Squire/Ibanez/Whatever, it's nearly impossible to actually do that? There's a bunch of brands I'd love to try out: G&L...
