POLL- The perfect stringset for a p bass?

[MicG]

D'Addario EXL Balanced Tension Rounds.

 

[led4thehed2]

Rotosound Jazz Bass 77.

 

[SmokinJoe992]

For my money well worn chromes on a well worn P Bass is where the magic is at.

 

[7615]

10 year old round wounds.

 

[diegom]

I voted Precision Flats and 9050 (almost the same to my fingers).
Although I believe this poll is as meaningful as What's the perfect color for a p bass?

 

[bhendrix]

You're welcome!

Hmmm...which toilet paper to hoard ?

I know. Here in Texas we need sooooo much of it. So So much. Guess why, LOL.
Meanwhile, I wish I had a set of the old Fender flats.

 

[bolophonic]

I’ve only tried two of those. The GHS Pressurewounds are some of my favorite strings, and the Chromes are absolutely my least favorite strings of all.

Right now, my favorite strings are DR Nickel Low Riders and LaBella Low Tension Flats on my Precisions. I also like DR Jonas Hellborg strings and the GHS Infinity Coated Steel roundwound. Someday I will try them all.

 

[dalkowski]

would these strings be for metal?

 

[Jscriv]

I was heavy on the Dunlop super brites. But I didn't like the low end. As much as I could. Switched to slinky's regulars. 45-105. And I love em

 

[FugaziBomb]

DR sunbeams are the perfect string for any bass you list.

 

[Wesley R]

I'm a Tape Wound guy, sorry no vote, play what you like, be happy.

For a 4 string, the La Bella Jamerson 1954 flats. Close second would be the Steve Harris Roto 77s.

For a 5 string like mine, the balanced Kalium set (.150-.045).

 

[brushfirewolf]

Tried them all. TI obviously are the best but I voted chromes.

Just bought a set of cobalt flats and am very disappointed. They sound like crap. Hopefully it's not me...

 

[Michael Bauer]

Not much of a poll when the definitive P-bass strings, LaBella Deep Talkin' Bass flats aren't even on the list.

 

[Kukulkan61]

I voted 9050Ls but it’s a hard choice between the Chromes also, I like both, 2 Pbasses with 9050Ls, one Pbass with GHS PW and 1 Jazz with chromes!

 

[Bruiser Stone]

I’m a La Bella fella, but having tried GHS flats, they are a very close 2nd, and followed very closely by TI’s.

 

[BOOG]

No doubt this thread is gonna get a little controversial... so many good options here, it’s pretty hard to go wrong with any of them.

I’ve heard many people SWEAR BY these strings on their p basses! Surely they can’t all be the best...

can they?

You decide!


(I’ve allowed maximum 2 votes per person for the poll, for those who can’t decide)

You forgot the ones that matter...

DR Pure Blues
DR Sunbeams
DR Lo Riders
D’addario NYXL

EXACTLY

 

[Smallmouth_Bass]

I have DR Sunbeams on my P-Bass and they sound and feel good.
