Best Punk Strings

[foobassist]

What is the best string for that punk (clangy, growly, bright) sound? I currently have rotosounds that are very good, but is there anything better?

 

[TheBassPreacher]

Ernie Balls... what I think most punk bassists use, very metallic and clanky.

What kind of punk asks this question?!!

Don't be mad... I used a Smiley!

 

[Sandman1278]

get a light gauge string

 

[Secondhandloser]

Ernie Balls with a pick...

 

[GetLow]

+1 for ernie ball

(plus, they have their own stage at the warped tour... and it usually sounds damn good)

i don't play punk, but i play with Dean Markley Misfits Skullbusters and they sound pretty growly to me.

Punk strings are the strings you play, my friend...

 

[seanm]

I would say the cheapest strings you can buy

When you've got attitude, who cares about tone?
