If you only could have one bass, what strings would it have?

[2F/2F]

Easy choice. LaBella 760Ms.

I do use other strings here and there, but those are the gold standard to me, and they are on most of my basses.

High tension, thick, long lasting (only get better with age IMO), perfect tone for me. They just feel, and sound, like home.

DR Sunbeams

Mine#d have Newtone steel rounds. round core.

 

[Spidey2112]

... why is that so?

Because, when it comes to bass strings, I seriously choose...

... Batman.

Stay sirsty, caped crusader.

You too, Matt.

Lots of DR love for good reason. Mine would be DR Lo-riders nickels.

 

[Son of Wobble]

Lots of DR love for good reason. Mine would be DR Lo-riders nickels.

Which gauge set do you use?

 

[BigNotes]

Hmmm... I currently have 7 basses and they all have Chromes on them... I'm gonna go with Chromes

I resemble that remark. All four of mine are Chromed. My second would be LaBella DTFs.

 

[Evil Undead]

D'addario nickel rounds, 40-95

Another Sunbeams vote (well, not really, because I can't vote for Sunbeams ....... but you get the idea!)

 

[zubrycky]

The ones the bass came with. I don't really care.

 

[gregmon79]

SIT Rock Bright Steels. Standard gauge. I recently moved to those and I love them!

 

[Pizza1988]

Dunlop Marcus Miller Super Bright Stainless Steel 45/125

 

[Gravedigger Dav]

My favorite strings are DR Pure Blues. They have plenty of meat and a nice bright edge.

Please spell out the choices in your poll because it looks like alphabet soup.

depending on the generosity of the 'benefactor', either:
1 - TI jazz rounds, or
2 - roto RS66LB

if the OP is buying: i'd pick the TI's. thanks in advance, MattZilla

[NathOBX]

Super Slinkys, ive been dabbling with tapes and flats, but I always come back to them.

 

[MoeTown1986]

TI Jazz Flats for me. I currently have 12 basses. And they all have TI’s.

 

[jdwinva]

DR Sunbeams (Nickel) for my 4 and 5 string basses.

 

[LLD]

DR Sunbeams NMR-45

Many basses and only type of strings for me, DR Fat Beams admittedly they only come in full scale so the double balls and shorties get other strings. Though I am at a point where I'm getting to a definitive group of basses and I am entertaining the idea of experimenting with strings for different sounds. The main basses that get played as my gigging basses will still have the DRs though.
