Bass_Guardian Posted December 29, 2010 Posted December 29, 2010 Im looking for the best replacement strings for my lakland skyline 44-01. The strings on it according to the lakland website . What type of strings do Lakland basses come with? A. Most come with Lakland custom stainless steel roundwound mediums, .045”-.105” (add a .128” for 5-strings). What would be the best replacements using these same specs. (4 string) Thanks in advance Alex Quote
