well I use these at £4.40 a pop, but you may not like the tone, I find them fine for pub gigging, nice and snappy cos they're always new, 10 sets for the price of a set of La bellas? Possibly worth a punt?

Thanks mate I used 2 use the 5 string sets as you say they aint half bad for the price!

Hey everyone

The age old question on string life, boiling and cleaning products...

I regularly use fast fret after each time I play....But as I sweat alot live my strings really do take a pounding....

Also I notice slapping and popping drasticly reduces string life? I have used many differnt string brands types and gauges.....I do have a fav in regards to tone but I feel prettymuch any sting doesnt provide very long life....

Between practing,rehearsal and ofcaorse live I am lucky to get a couple of days at full potientel in regards to tone as I prefare that brand new string piano like tone.....

Does any one have any recommendations?

I have tried boiling as we know it does work but will only last a rehearsal...

Bass strings can be expensive but as we know tone is very inportant...

I currently use ernie ball slinky..

Past favs have been rotosound swing bass....D'addario pro steels...D'addario nickel....and tons others..

Coated strings? Pros ? cons?

Hey everyone......

Iam new to backing vocals....

Been playinag bass for 15 years but now I have apodted backing vocals as part of my performance....

The band I play in uses gritty growly style vocals as well as backing.... iam looking for any tips or links to help the process other than practice...

I do fine it relativly easy to play and backing vocals at the same time but as the style of music demands a differnt appoch to vocals it can be challenging learning a vocal style/tecnique.... does any one have any advice links etc I would be really greatfull!
