    I'm replacing my strings for the first time because im sick of those stock fenders :nono:

    Anyway i definitely want ernie ball's cuz i luv that brand, ive heard lots of good things about theyre bass strings and lastly, its pimp to match the rest of the accesories on my bass. However i just dont know which Ernie Ball's i want to get that sound i have in my head.

    I play in a punk/party garage band. The sound i like is a nice "kind of" metallic ring and feel and bright while still retaining a low end punch. Actually i'd rather a punch but if its posible to get brightness and punch its cool. PLEASE HELP THANKS :help:

    I've never tried them, but Greg from Ernie Ball customer service recommends the Hybrid sets for punk. Let me know how that works out.

    EDIT: You're probably gonna want Stainless Steel rather than Nickel for a brighter sound. So try these: http://www.juststrings.com/ebl-2843.html

    Just try some Hybrid Slinkys. Balanced tone, balanced feel ... love those strings for pick and fingerstyle.

    And they're cheap!

    I use the Hybrid slinkys on all my basses (stingrays/ washburn XB920) and I love the sound I'm getting from my stuff. I'm doing street punk stuff with one guitar and these strings defenitely rip it up live.


    heres a link of my Band www.good-fight.com/

    the MP3's where rough digital recordings from the garage and the bass was set for a live sound which was too much bass for recording.
