Bass-ic Posted May 27, 2008 Share Posted May 27, 2008 Hi, can anyone give me a very brief run down on strings, as this seems to be a bit of a mine field Cheers Matt Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sparky Posted May 27, 2008 Share Posted May 27, 2008 There's a pinned thread in the Miscelaneous gear section. It's a 3 page thread so hardly a brief rundown'. Good place to start though i'd say. Think there are some fairly concise posts near the beginning! Good luck! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you ask something more specific, like 'I really like the bass sound on Live At Leeds, how did he do it?' or 'should I use tapewound strings for reggae?' you'll get shorter answers. hth Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Who do you think sounds good? To be honest though, for everyone who loves Brand X string and would use no other, there's another player who'd prefer to string his bass up with barbed wire. Just type 'Rotosound' into the search engine and see how many people hate my favourite string ;-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
carlosfandango Posted May 27, 2008 Share Posted May 27, 2008 Bass player did a special on strings with lot's of reviews last year I think...or maybe the year before can't remember..........see if you find the article on their home page.
