Rickenbacker 4004L- Strings?

[punky]

I have a 2014 4004L. What strings do you recommend/ use for yours?

Rounds? Flats?

The stock RIC strings are great sounding, although I have a set of TI Jazz Rounds that will be going on my 4004L SPC one of these days.

And, I have TI Jazz Flats on my other 4004L.

Thanks for your input Jeff. I prefer nickel rounds in the same gauge 45-55-75-105.

Stick with the RIC strings, then. They last a long time and really do sound great.

I can't say I've done an exhaustive search, but I've done a bit of looking and have yet to find another string set with the same gauges as the Ric set. Best price I've seen lately for them is from Sam Ash at $26.99. (Some places charge almost twice as much.)

I use D''Addario Super light gauge on all of my basses

I use Elixir mediums on my 4004. They have a fairly standard round tone, reduced string squeak, and rarely need changing (I hate changing strings). I use the RIC strings on my 4003 though, since I want more bite there.

Dunlop Super Brights really put some life into mine!
