i need new strings

I like DR Hi Beams. They sound really good without being overly bright. They feel soft and are a pleasure to use. Much easier on my fingers than Rotosounds.

Good luck!!!!

Hi again,

I forgot to mention that they're supposed to last a long time too...

Ya can't go wrong with DR's but I'd suggest either Lo-Riders or "Marcus" (Fat Beams). I think Hi-Beams on your G&L would be so bright you'd need sunglasses. They don't call `em "HI-BEAMS" because they're mellow.

Thomastik-Infeld "Jazz" would fit your description, too.

 

It took me a day or two to get used to my new D'Addario Slowound set, but now I must regard them as my favourite set so far (but I'm yet to play the DR Fat Beams, TI Jazz and Lo-Riders previously mentioned in this thread). Not too bright, but a very consistent feel and rich tone. I recommend a test-drive!

 

how do the Marcus Milller Fatbeams sound?

i want a really deep bassy tone without losing the clarity from my highs.

is that what i'm looking for?

(i have an L-2000) ...i love saying that

 

It sounds like the Marcus could fill the bill for you - shiny highs, big & wide lows because the they excel in the mids.

You'll find a lengthy review I did of them around Feb. of this year in the Talkbass "Reviews" section.

 

Try DR Lo-riders. I have the stainless steel, but the nickle also seem to get alot of recognition.
