bornagainbass65 Posted November 17, 2015 Posted November 17, 2015 EUB strings - there are loads of choices. I replaced a string on my EUB with an 'Innovation Honey' - and was pleased with the result as it sounded reasonably like an acoustic bass. A set will cost around 90 quid. (Unless you want to play Rockabilly/slap style, in which case there are specialist strings for this.) Again, the Stagg thread will probably come to your aid here. think there are issues about some manufacturers strings not fitting the Stagg, see the thread for details. Quote

Beedster Posted November 17, 2015 Posted November 17, 2015 I have a set of quite nice DB strings that the previous owner cut to fit an EUB (a fact he neglected to mention when he sold them to me). I forget the brand but they are decent quality and flexible in a TI Jazz flats way. Anyway, you're welcome to them if it helps ease the transition to DB. C Quote
