D'Addario or Warwick?

[80jazz]

I am debating switching to 35s, but would like to know if those who use this gauge prefer D'Addario, Warwick, or some other brand.

For the record, I currently use DR Hi-Beam 45s. I may also just try their 40-60-75-95 set.

Thanks in advance.

Warwick strings were pretty bad. For me, anyway.

By 'switching to 35s' do you mean you are going to 35" scale basses? Or you want a .135 B string? Or you want a 35-90 set?

If the latter, it sounds like you want some really loose feeling strings. Like you said, try the lighter DR's first. Also try Fodera strings which also have round cores like DR so they will feel similar.

www.bassstringsonline.com has a huge selection to pick from.

Sorry I wasn't more specific. By 35, I meant a set of 35-55-75-95 strings. The 2 makers mentioned here are the ones I have seen. I wonder how each of these compares to DR, hence the question. Thanks for the Fodera tip as well.

Yeah you need www.bassstringsonline.com
If there's a string you want to try but not packaged in the gauges you want, you can make your own set with whatever you want:
