OutToPlayJazz Posted November 18, 2007 Share Posted November 18, 2007 I seem to remember reading that Marcus Miller uses DR strings. The standard guage Fender ones are 45-105, but I'd put RotoSound Swing Bass "66" on there - Probably a set of 40-100 or even better 35-90. I've got the 35's on my Geddy & it sings Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thunderthumbs Posted November 19, 2007 Share Posted November 19, 2007 (edited) I bought a Marcus Miller Jazz back in May and have to agree, I was pleasantly surprised with the strings that it came with. Once they went I put Warwick Red Labels on (45-105) as I had a few sets, and to be honest, they just didn't feel the same right from day one. The brightness went out of them pretty quickly too, and I'm not a real "sweaty hand" type player either. Just got myself some DR Fat Beams imported from the good ole' U.S. of A. and they're lovely. Nice and bright, and feel very smooth at the same time. Only just put the first set on so it's difficult to make the comparison in how long they'll stay bright for. Very nice price too Edited November 19, 2007 by Thunderthumbs Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JD1 Posted November 19, 2007 Share Posted November 19, 2007 Not sure - but would they just ship it with Fender strings? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
