What kind of strings do you use?

[line1]

DR high beams

 

[Asaf]

Rotosound - Rotobass 125-040 on my pentabuzz
Dean Markley - Solid bass 105-045 on my jazz bass

 

[thwackless]

To rounds: DR Lo-Riders, 45-100 or something. Nice and punchy, not brittle or harsh. Good bass strings, good detail.

 

[Asaf]

replaced the strings on the JAZZBASS to Rotsound Rotobass 105-045.
sounds really great, cutting highes and lots of lows...like them.
they have more tension then the Dean Markley...but they stay in tune after and hour of slaps...nice.

Rob Allen Deep 4: Rotosound RS88 5 string (use the bottom 4 strings, so .75 - .135)
Fender P, '70s Music Man (which has been made passive): Rotosound RS77LE (.50 - .110) -
Fender Bass V: Rotosound RS77EL (.45 - .105, with another .45 for the high C)

The RS88 has been my standard fretless string I've used on all the fretless basses I've owned. I tried the LaBella 760Ns and didn't like them.

The 77LE set is my standard string set I've used for nearly 20 years. I tried the James JAmerson LaBella set once. They were on my bass for a week. When I had a MM Stingray 5, I had the matching flat .125. I'm toying with making my 4 strings .75 - .125.

The Bass V has a longer body and stringthrough (despite the shorter in length neck), so I needed extra long strings.

Flats = Chromes
Nickel rounds = Ken Smith Burners.......the best!
Stainless rounds = GHS Super Steels
Grounds = GHS Pressure Wounds

after some tweaks and the bass has adjusted to the new strings my bass sounds just amazing with the ROTOBASS strings - they really enhanced my sound !!!

I use the DR Stainless Steel Low beams .45-.125
They last forever and are really punchy.

 

[metron]

Right now I have medium DR lo riders on my jazz (I think I like the high beams a little better but they are both great and long lasting) and LaBella 760FM flats on my p bass. Life is full of good choices!

 

[Sir_gabealot]

Not saying much because I have only tried roundwounds. I prefer nickel over steel.

Dont think anyone got this one.
Ernie Ball super slinkys on a fender jazz bass.
Superslinkys are wierd at first but I gotta say... I got used to em and theyre great for slap and give you a nice sound.

 

[TL5]

I'm using DR Hi-Beams on my Peavey TL-Five and my Les Paul.

I have Elixir Nanowebs on my Shecter Stiletto Studio 5 Fretless. I'm not reral fond of the Elixirs, so I have a set of DR's waiting for thew fretless as well.
