El_JimBob Posted June 21, 2008 Share Posted June 21, 2008 (edited) not essential - it really depends on what gauge you choose and how comfortably it sits over the saddle - i have a G&L 5string and was worried that my low B was a little indistinct, so i had Picato strings make me some taperwound replacements - can't say i really noticed a difference - if anything, the taperwound is harder to intonate correctly, altho it does fit in the saddle better.... Give the stock strings a good play when it arrives and see what you think.... Edited June 21, 2008 by El_JimBob Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
