My Squier Fat Telecaster has the same strings that was on it, when I bought it 2 years ago, and my Squier P-bass has the same that was on it, when I bought it 4 years ago. As such, and especially with the bass, I'm having to re-tune everytime I decide to play. Yes, it's about high time I find the motivation to re-string both of them.
For the Fat Tele, I'm going to go with Ernie Ball Slinky strings, but my question here is, WHICH Slinky's? Custom, Hybrid or Super?
With the P-bass, I've never really had to consider different string types, as it is my first one. What brand is good, and what type and gage of string would best suit my needs/playing style? The biggest thing I'm looking for is, to eliminate some of the scraping I get, when moving up and down the finger board (I get this, quite noticeable, when I play Pink Floyd's "Money"). String gage I'll probably hafta figure out, for myself, since only I can be the best judge of what kinda sustain/decay suits me.
I'll more than likely go with Hybrid Slinky's, on the Fat Tele, but I'm open to input, concerning the Custom and Super Slinky sets.
