The Jaywalker Posted February 4, 2016 Share Posted February 4, 2016 There's loads of string choices available. Some strings sound great on one bass and awful on another. Over the years I've tried spirocore in weich, medium and solo tuned eadg; laBella 7710 and 7720; Pirastro Obligato; gut; Velvet Garbo, Anima and Blue. Had experience playing on Silver Slaps; Super-Sensitive; Pirastro Jazzer; Superflexibles and probably others. Now I'm back on Spiro Weich with a Mittel S42 g. Tried that setup on another bass and it felt great - my bass likes it too. But...thing to bear in mind despite all these options: Ray Brown, Marc Johnson, Arild Andersen. Guys who are very different in terms of sound and tone - and all use(d) the same strings. My advice would be to put on a set of spirocores and get playing. They're great, versatile strings and are the reference point by which others are judged and compared. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
