What kind of strings do you use?

[unclekebm]

fender 9050ML's after 3~6 months of steady use...THUMP!

I just bought a 6 string acoustic bass made by Larrivee . What kind of string can I use ?

 

[Funk49]

I use HARTKE Nickel roundwounds. I can buy a 3 set for $33 delivered to the door and thats for fivers! They feel fairly close to Roto's and last just as long. I can afford to change strings more often and don't go in debt! I'm always looking for a bargain on Ebay!
I string my 83 Precision and US Hartke L2500 with Hartkes.

I use Daddario XL's on all my fretted basses. I prefer GHS Chromes on all of my fretless.
I have used this combo for about 10 years now. I love them.

 

[Gary Holder]

I have now moved on to Rotosound Tru bass. I like them a lot.

I like the feel & sound of the LA BELLA black nylon tape wounds on my Fender Jazz frettless for smaller gigs.

I use Ernie Ball Super Slinky ( Pink package 45-65-80-100 )
and Ernie Ball Hybrid Slinky ( Orange package 45-65-85-105 )

 

[MarkMyWordsXx]

no one else uses optima golds?

 

[Jake of Bass]

Ernie Ball Slinky 5 for the 'Ray.

 

[Babassfromparis]

I use Warwick Red Label strings for my 6 strings bass, it's cheaper than the others and they keep a bright sound for long time, and they're strong.

Ernie Ball roundwounds (i'm sorry, i haven't got more info on them because i brought it at my local bass shop to put new strings on it, next time i'll do it myself, since it'll teach me more about strings) on my EBMM Stingray 2eq

I guess it depens on the song calls for!
1.My 82' Gibson Victory sounds great with the S.H. Rotosound FLATS
2.I put on beefy EB Power Slinkys 55-75-90-110 on my gsr200
3. My olp mm wannabe has D'adds Light gauge Prosteels for guess? Yep!

I really love D' Addario XL nickel & prosteels for performance, value & of course sound.

[Plookie]

DR Lo-Rider Medium 5 string w/125..

They came with my Pavel Jazz Pro 5 Deluxe bass. And I instantly feel in love with them just after our 1 hour show.

I do want to try some other great strings, but for now it's DR Lo-Rider all the way!

Ken Smith Stainless Steel

D'Addario Pro Steel (I'm starting not to like these as much as they seem to go dead quickly..., but I still like their .145 tapered string...)
