What strings do you use on your precision bass?

[aproud1]

I was a TI flats guy for years but now I like pyramid flats. I dig the high tension and they sound great.

Pyramid flats - have them on both Ps. Tried just about everything else but these just feel and sound the best to me. I have TIs on my Turner fret less and love them but found them to be too flabby for the Ps.

Same here. On a P bass I have tried many flats and Pyramid's are the string. Labella 760's are a close second. On a Jazz bass the TI's are the flat.

I usually have TI Jazz flats on mine, but i put them on my Jazz cause they sound so good on it.

DR Sunbeams are on the P right now.
But i've just about killed the E string while somehow the others are still alive.

It's my alien sweat that does it every time.

Fender flats on both my '75 and '79. I still have the original strings on my AmStd P and AmStd PJ, but I have a set of GHS Precision Flats for the PJ.

 

[Nohrellas]

Daddario XL nickel wounds in 040, 055, 075, 100, 130
Standard tuning.

Is this true? The meme.

oh yes...watch Invalid Link Removed if you haven't already (I kind of see the point about The Beach Boys though...so maybe I'll re-do it and sub some other band with a similar number of hits, any suggestions)

 

[Ace Of Bass]

DR Legend....

 

[penguineman]

Usually Dr hi beams. But been trying several different strings here lately.

As I'd recently posted, no matter what strings I've put on my American Vintage 63 Precision Bass, and no matter how much I like them, I always end up removing them, and always put TI Flats back on that bass. Over time, I've been impressed by, and highly praised, GHS Precision Flats, LaBella Deep Talking Flats, Sadowsky Black Label Flats, Pyramid Gold Flats and.... I always return to TI Flats. Maybe it's time to just accept my fate and leave the damn TI Flats on that particular bass.

I've also really liked Invalid Link Removed on my precision. Very loose feel, so they require a higher setup. But man, what a great sound.

 

[Gravedigger Dav]

Rotosound 77 flats

Love the sound, but the tension is too much for my fingers for a 4 hour gig.

 

[DavC]

Ti's on my P

GHS Pressurewounds on 51 style P/J 5ver ( they are round wounds . ! )

 

[T Bassman]

DR LEGEND FLATS or
JOHN PEARCE NICKEL ROUNDS depending.

 

[bass40hz]

Trick question...which Pbass?? LOL
I use -
DR Black Beauties for a bright crunchy sound
D'addario NYXL for most general uses, pretty versatile strings
Rotosound Steve Harris Signatures for, what else but Maiden covers!
All depends on what I am playing.

 

[lermgalieu]

Currently using GHS Brite Flats, but I expect to go back to Chromes in the near future.

 

[twinjet]

I bought a 63 AVRI in December and have only replaced the strings with Fender medium gauge roundwound. I don't usually use this string at all but I like how they sound and play on this bass. What do you guys use on your Precision?

When I owned one, DR PURE BLUES. Those strings were hot!

[onda'bass]

Chromes, they sound the best on this bass as I have tried many others.

 

[ThudThudThud]

Fender 7250M on one.
Chromes on the other.

 

[TrevorOfDoom]

TI SuperAlloys for rounds, and TI Jazz Flats.

 

[bigtone23]

My passive Partscision has 50-105 Chromes for thumpy old school.
The '99 US P Dlx has Blue Steel 45-105 rounds for zingy modern.
Ibanez RB630 (it's a P, really) with EMG & BTS has D'addario nickle 50-105 rounds for a versatile tone.
