alright its like this
im the bass freak. so i should know bout what strings.
i use ghs boomers.
i am very very picky about my strings. i refuse to play my friends bass becuase he uses fender strings, which i feel suck. and suck hard at that.
slinkies, i havent tried them on bass, but i have for electric, and woah, they suck. they wont stay in tune for crap, which i could understand becuase thats what they are made to do, but, ccrrapp.....no one wants an out of tune bass, its not cool when you only got 4 strings and they are out of tune, but with 6 kinda makes it cool i guess.
so boomers, 45-95 or when im feeling fatty 55-115
i rock on a p-bass....so we are in the same boat.
