BigKahuna855 Posted June 12, 2004 Share Posted June 12, 2004 im asking because its time to replace mine, and i dont want to get stiffed with bad strings. so i was thinking "maybe there are certain string brands that go well with certain brands of basses" i will take any and all suggestions "I'm thinkin' we should let bump answer this one...

Mr. Phil Posted June 12, 2004 Share Posted June 12, 2004 well don't get super cheap strings, because they are most likely to be bad. I've had good sounds with Ernie Ball slinkys. They are $20, so they are cheap and sound good. And you could call them a professional string too since they have an extensive list of players/endorsers on the back. When they are new, they are very bright, but after a week or so, they mellow out a little and stay that way until they are dead or worn out. http://www.briantimpe.com/images/LDL/dots/blue.JPGhttp://www.briantimpe.com/images/LDL/dots/black.JPGhttp://www.briantimpe.com/images/LDL/dots/fuscia.JPGhttp://www.briantimpe.com/images/LDL/dots/grey.JPGhttp://www.briantimpe.com/images/LDL/dots/orange.JPGhttp://www.briantimpe.com/images/LDL/dots/purple.JPGhttp://www.briantimpe.com/images/LDL/dots/red.JPGhttp://www.briantimpe.com/images/LDL/dots/yellow.JPG Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

prophetgtree Posted June 12, 2004 Share Posted June 12, 2004 I have been satisfied with DRs, Ernie Balls, and D' Addarios. Any of those will match an Ibanez well. I usually stick to D' Addarios, but when I get lucky and find some extra dough in my pockets, I'll get the DRs. www.geocities.com/nk_bass/enter.html Still working on it...

cornbread_medhotmail.com Posted June 12, 2004 Share Posted June 12, 2004 I like the DR Fat Beams and used them all the time on my old Soundgear. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shars Posted June 12, 2004 Share Posted June 12, 2004 I have to disagree here. Status Graphite Hotwires everytime on any bass. They don't dull easily as Ernie Balls. These vary from £13.00 to £23.00 depending on what your after for what style of playing. Status Graphite Hotwires via Status Graphite UK Elites are the other ones that you can try that sound great not matter what punishment they take.

Afro_Man Posted June 12, 2004 Share Posted June 12, 2004 I've used elites, not too expensive and they last for ages, which is cool.
