I'm looking for string recommendations please.
I just got a natural gut D and G string, and I am blown away by them. The effect on my cheap plywood bass is completely transformational.
I was using Innovation Sliver Slaps, which are also very nice strings, and which mellowed in nicely over the 10 months or so since I have been playing them. But I never quite managed to get rid of the slightly twangy, electric guitar sound from the A string.
So now I'm left with the Innovation as an E (which is perfect) and these gorgeous sounding real gut strings on D and G, but the A string really doesn't sit nicely with all these mellow strings at all. When I'm playing I actually find myself avoiding the A now.
Is there a go-to A string I should be considering in this set up? I play about 50 / 50 slap and jazz, and any advice would be gratefully received.
