Double Bass Cuerdas para Ampeg BB4

[ferrandgilabert]

Hola todo el mundo!
¿Qué cuerdas son mejores para intentar obtener un sonido "acustico" con arco y pizzicato en un Ampeg BB4? Mi amplificador es un Gallien Krueger115.
Gracias de antemano!

Translation of the above:

“Hello everyone!

Which strings are better to try to get an "acoustic" sound with bow and pizzicato on an Ampeg BB4? My amplifier is a Gallien Krueger115.

Thank you in advance!”

Are we talking about an Ampeg baby bass? I was under the impression that spirocore solos were the string of choice for that instrument. I'm not sure that any string option would yield a more acoustic sound due to the nature of the fibreglass body and the pickup. Hopefully someone with more specific knowledge will weigh in...

Yes, the BB-4 is the classic Ampeg Baby Bass.
Indeed, Solo Spiros are probably the most recommend strings for these instruments.
