smurfitt Posted October 20, 2010 Share Posted October 20, 2010 Hi, I know they come with Ernie Balls but is there a thinner string that won't flap about and will give me a decent tone? Just wondered what anyone else preferred. Cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Prime_BASS Posted October 20, 2010 Share Posted October 20, 2010 Flap about? Anything of a higher gauge might do. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mcnach Posted October 20, 2010 Share Posted October 20, 2010 I use D'Addario EXL170 (45, 65, 80, 100) in my OLPs and my Stingray. That's light, but sounds great to me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OliverBlackman Posted October 20, 2010 Share Posted October 20, 2010 I play mostly pop/funk/disco/soul and i really like the "dead" bass boomers tone on my stingray. And it took them only a week to go dead Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
