Nice bass Christine!!! The advice I was given for strings on my Ibanez acoustic was Ernie Ball Slinky's in the pink package. A bass instructor told me that he had the best luck with those on the same bass. YMMV.

Nice! What's the depth on that? I had a Michael Kelly that sounded great but the body was Way too deep. Felt like I was doing a reacharound to play it.NBD for me today, jus an acoustic, I've been hankering after one for eons now and been watching this on Ebay for weeks, it's a Hofner HA-B03, I decided to make a low offer last night and it was accepted so we went to fetch it this morning as it was only 30 miles away.
Anyone know anything about acoustic strings? I need some, don't want to play it after someone else, don't know where their fingers have beenIt's got roundwounds on it and they sound OK, informed info needed please

Have never tried that size but I will look for some.
Big triangular picks work best for me.
Had breakfast next to Fort George yesterday. Plan on hitting it for a beer later this week. Going to hit FG, Rouge, and a few others I saw. Want to get a good sample of the local goodies.
I believe the singer (and now car guru) is Bruce Dickinson's cousin.

Thats it! I have a set ready to go on when I drop my ABG off for a setup. He didn't seem to care for bronze strings.
It varies, 3 3/4" at the front, 4 1/2" at the waist and 4 3/4" at the back with a total thickness of about 5 1/2" in the centre of the body in the bridge position, it got an arched backNice!

Remember Lar... she ain't from here. Don't be thrown by her use of the metric system3 3/3?

3 3/3" Fvcking hell, is there any hope?
Fvcking hell, is there any hope? just to clarify... 3 3/3 is still the same as four oneths... innit?3 3/3"
Not quite, the mathematical probability of there being a slight loss in cutting up the last oneth into three is above zero so no, 3 3/3" stands
It's times like this when all your knowledge & experience makes me look foolishNot quite, the mathematical probability of there being a slight loss in cutting up the last oneth into three is above zero so no, 3 3/3" stands
