What are good strings for bending notes

[jimmydean]

Find RotoSound 35-85 strings .........

Nothing stainless. Stainless strings are not 'fret friendly'

If you really want flexibility, try some Funkmasters or 90-30 DR HiBeams

Yes! I was going to suggest Funkmasters as well. Very fun strings!

Any of the La Bella Tapewound: Black, Copper White, Gold White, or White (in order of brightness, least to most). I just think “bend” and they bend, and then keep on going. And they sound great. (To me. Tone is arbitrary.) But I gotta say the La Bella Gold White tape wound are probably my favorite strings.

I use Daddario XL regular light gauge and have no trouble bending.

lm wanting to find a set of strings l can bend notes on the G and D strings?
Years ago l used Labella black strings.

I like light gauge rounds for bending

Bending bass strings may not be legal in your jurisdiction except by electronic manipulation.

Lighter gauge LaBella White Nylon tapes! The regular, gold, or copper versions work.
