Hi, I was wondering if anyone could recommend me an accurate and reliable bass tuner? I'm currently using a clip on one that struggles to pick up the E string when I'm not in a quiet area. Thanks Dan

[quote name='miles'tone' timestamp='1410479305' post='2549972'] Check out the Rotobass series of nickel strings. Same strings as the regular Rotosound nickels but without any silks. Much cheaper! My mates got a Yammy like yours. Sounds great, nice to play and light too. [/quote] Just ordered myself a set! Thanks for the help!

Thanks for the responses! I think I'm going to order some Rotosound Nickel Roundwound as they seem to get good reviews and don't cost the world. I'll see how the new strings are and then see about getting a professional set up. I play a Yamaha RBX170, not the best of basses but i quite like it

I don't like gunky dull old strings which are too old and feel horrible to me, but plenty do. You could choose between flats or roundwound but it depends what you are after. There is a bit range of price..and I'd suggest, quality, but if you narrow down what you are after, then you could start on a cheaper brand to see if they are on the right lines for what you want. [/quote] They just feel quite clumsy to play, sound isn't poor but not great, and just doesn't sound how I'd like it to. I'd ideally just like some that aren't too clumsy and feel nicer to play? I'd say starting on a cheaper brand and trying out the style would be a good idea!

Hi, I've been playing bass for about a year now and am still using the strings that were originally on the bass when i bought it so I've decided it's time for a change. I am really quite clueless when it comes to strings so i was hoping for some help. I play in a band and we tend to play indie/alternative stuff so I'm just looking for some quite bright sounding and crisp strings that are relatively cheap. I don't play slap bass. Any help will be greatly appreciated!
