TheRev Posted December 12, 2008 Share Posted December 12, 2008 I don't have one..... Try D'darrio Helicores - the medium tension ones should suit you nicely. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think you'll be disappointed though, the strings that came with my Aria (which the Stagg looks to be a copy of) were pretty stiffand although the bottom end was nice and solid, they were just too taut and glassy sounding and didn't have any growl. Switching to the Helicores made a huge difference in feel and tone. Did you go for the pizz, orchestral or hybrids? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
