What Strings are You Rocking This Weekend

[StyleOverShow]

I just had my fall tech tune up. When the weather changes I have the relief adjusted and get a clean up.

So I put on some Doc Neon's on the Tune. The true string color is seen in the reflected chrome of the bridge.

Picture 2 is GuitarGroomer, aka Avi. A new TBer who is an amazing tech.

Strings are from Jason (BassStringsOnline).

The coating on the Neon's does cut down the overtones and ringing. They look amazing against the rosewood fretboard.

What are you rocking this weekend?

Roto 77

I strung my SBMM Ray 35 with D'Addario Prosteels today, also procured via Bassstringsonline. Our next gig isn't until Nov 10, so the strings will be nicely settled in by then.

I put some roto flats on my "new to me" P-Bass copy.

It's a Frankenstein and I'm playing it for the 1st time this weekend.

Action is really low. Thanks Avi.

Forgot how clunky they are.

 

[punkjazzben]

LaBella Deep Talkin' flats - 760FS. On a P-bass.

 

[chaosMK]

Sadowsky Blacks (Steel). I thought I'd like 'em more. More of a stiff string than a bright and zingy string. Back to Lo-Riders after giving both Blue and Black a try.

 

[SquierJazz72]

Heavy gauge stainless Roto 66 Swings. No gig, but doing some home writing/recording.

 

[SLaPiNFuNK]

Awesome!

Blues gig for me this weekend... They want my P with La Bella originals on it but I feel like playing my Warmoth fretless jazz with Rotosound Tru Bass 88's!

 

[renobassman]

I'll be rocking SIT Power Cores on my P/J.

 

[Hellbottom]

Tonight's gig is a frat party at Ga Tech, so I'll be rockin' the crappiest bass I own. Squier Vista P with two year old Elixers!

 

[bassist4dalord]

Rehearsal on Monday, gig on Wednesday. Still loving the D'Addario Tapewounds on my Squier PrecisionV (Jazz electronics).

Thanks again, Jason!

Trying out a new Lakland this weekend, I've got some custom D'Addario sets coming from Jason at BsO, which I'll put up against my usual go-to string which is SIT PowerWound nickels.

 

[Ezmar]

Not sure how much I'll be ROCKIN' 'em, but Rotosound swing bass 66 SS. Really the only string I've ever used besides stock string, but I like them a lot, and being a college student, why spend money I don't need to fixing what isn't broke?

[mccartneyman]

TI Jazz flats on my Lakland 55-94 -- back to them after Sadowsky flats for two years.
LaBella Beatle Bass flats on my Hofner Icon.
Roto Swing Bass 66 on my Steinberger XL2- my only bass with rounds right now.

 

[MostlyBass]

DR Fat Beams... on my Carvin Icon 5... Ah yeah! But the real question is what combination of cabinet / amp to use

 

[mdogs]

SunBeams and FatBeams and Jason, I hope that is a good paying gig if they are telling you what to play. Otherwise, I say play what makes you happy!!!!

 

[darren1970]

Roto Billy SHeehan swing 66 hybrids on my Gibson Thunderbird and Spector Euro 453LX.

No gig but first practice sesh with new band

Ken Smith Tapercores on SR5, Dlx Am JV, and Squier DAJV.
R Coccos on my Status.
