Kongo Posted November 2, 2012 Share Posted November 2, 2012 Not too skinny but at the same time I came to realise a few years ago I don't like too much tension. I hate flobby strings but at the same time too much tension doesn't work with how I attack and dig in. I have 130, 100 and 80 on my low strings, of which I will go down to Bb standard with fine. I might up by.5 for D-standard but they work. Then there's 65, 45 and 30 for my higher strings...I guess I use a combination of both. :-P Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ead Posted November 2, 2012 Share Posted November 2, 2012 +1 on the TI flats: 43/56/70/100. I'm also trying a set of Fender CL9050 flats 45/60/80/105 on my Jazz. The other bass has Nickel Slinky's 40 55 75 100, not hyper light but lighter. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
popoctave Posted November 2, 2012 Share Posted November 2, 2012 Nope, however was forced to use them on a defretted precision once, couldn't get a decent action with anything else, higher tension strings made the neck bend like an archers bow, sold it in the end. Strictly 40-100's now, stainless rounds on the jazz, nickel rounds on the P. Tried flats once, hated them, too sticky ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
