Hei, i'm new here
What strings do you recomend to me for a Music Man Stingray??
It´s a 4 strings Music man Stingray with standard tuning
And I'm looking for a rock tone similar to rage against the machine more or less
I have been using Elixir nano web 45-105 but they has not convinced me
Thanks to all
Well...
To be honest? In the 50+ years I've been playing bass, I've never felt the need to sound like anybody else - unless they happened to play a bass I had- or wanted - and, I thought they sounded like I felt that bass should sound. Like, Sir Paul's Hofner violin bass with Roto RS88M Tape Wounds, for example. That's one of the reasons that my violin bass wears them, too - but not the only reason...
I have two Stingrays; an EBMM 4HH Stingray Special, and a Sterling 4H Sub 'Ray. The 4HH wears Galli JF 4505 Jazz Flats. Mainly because 1) pretty much all my basses wear flats; and 2) a 4HH Stingray is a
very versatile bass - and the Galli's are very versatile, midrange-y flats. Doesn't sound like anybody in particular that I can think of, but that combo does work very well for a lot of music that I like to play. As for the Sterling Sub 'Ray? I've only had it for about 2 weeks. I '86'd the EB Slinky rounds it came with (I can't play rounds - they really hurt my fingers), and replaced them with 45-100 Slinky Cobalt Flats. They're not quite broken in, so... jury's still out. But, they seem to be working out, so far. I
think they'll wind up being a smidge brighter that I'd really like, but... I'll find something to play that the bass will sound good with...
