Who's using this string set on his bass ? What can you guys tell me about these strings ? (nickel or SS ?) Pro's & Con's ? Thanx for your replies !
Ernie ball strings are great. Theyre nickel, not SS. Hybrid is just the name for a certain gauge. Theres also other gauges like super, regular, hybrid, power, etc. Hybrid slinky happens to be 45-105. I use regular, which is heavier at 50-105. Use whatever gauge you want. EB strings sound awesome and feel very good. I have tried Fender, GHS, Elixir, and EB and I like these the most. The only con is that they go dead in about a month (but I practice constantly so YMMV) And the pros are they sound great (as stated above) and they are cheap at ~ $16 a set. Get some man!
Has anyone tried the 5-string EB slinky bass strings? I'm thinking of getting a set for my Ibanez BTB 405qm ...
Yeah, those are awesome too. Same as all other EB strings. And they come with a bitchin' .130 gauge B string. Nice and fat! My brother's friend has them strung on his Stingray 5 and they are great.
i use hybrid slinkys and i think they're great...i also have tried all different strings...d'adarrio slowounds, fenders, and i have 2 stay the ernies sound GREAT! they die out quick though but who cares..they're like 15 bucks a pack
I used Hybrid Slinky's. They were great strings. I changed gauges though. I changed the gauge of the E string to 100 instead of the 105. I think the 100 gauge is just easier to play. But it depends how it feels to you. Ernie Ball Slinky's are great strings.
