Strings for Stings

[Funky Dunky]

Just got a Sub Ray 4 and will be throwing some new strings on it. Dunlop Super Brights are my preferred choice for my Squier, and they sound great for slappery, but I just wanted to ask Sterling and Stingray owners if there is a particular type of string you feel gets the best version of 'that' trademark tone from your bass?

I always like ebmm strings on an ebmm to be honest, I use them on my other basses anyway failing that I'll use anything that is free! I used elites four many years and still like them now as a cheaper option sometimes.

Enjoy the new bass mate

I have Ernie Ball cobalts on my stingray, they do sound awesome but I will be going back on to elixirs after these are done.

I used Elites on a MM for years and they were great. Not sure they are the same string now
and even tho I don't play a MM anymore, I didn't like them on my current basses. Nothing so
much wrong with them, just that they didn't do it for me.

I tend to like decent metal in strings and I think this has been a varible laterly, IMO, as cost
is an issue. So, I go for clean sets that feel nice to the touch.. Clean strings=clean sound for me.
