lakland 55-02 string advice

[ebenezer]

having just bought the above bass, i am just wondering what strings will fit using the through body stringing method

i tend to use 40/45-125 roundwound

cheers folks!

I usually buy the 5 string (was) Marcus Miller DR Fat Beams , and they have enough wind to go through the body on a 35" scale.. Best round wound strings on the market Imo..And they last for a long long time.  But your string of choice may differ. 

 

Amazon are selling these for £25 atm. Ive bought these for £45 in the past. I think since Marcus Miller has gone to Dunlop, you can get these at great prices..

Extra long D'addario's will fit if they're your flavour.

I strung a set of DR Lo-Riders through the body on my US 55-94 and didn't think that made much of a difference, so went back to stringing through the bridge.
