Oneida James - what strings does she use?

[andreapenna]

Hi,
I just found this great Joe Cocker Live on you tube [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1Lwg0ZlPTJA[/media]
and I'm amazed by the sound of his bass player, Oneida James.
Does anyone has an idea of which strings (model/gauge) she uses?
I know this is only one piece of the cake but still it is a piece of the cake :-)

Cheers,
Andrea

Is it me or does it look like her F Bass has two "P" style pickups? It sounds great.

[andreapenna]

two P, inverted position, yes. And the sound is soo warm and defined.

It seems to me they are flat? I just ordered some D'Addario Chromes XL, to try if that is the right direction.
Will update here.

But nobody that has an idea?

Only watched a couple of minutes but it looked like she was using all five of them.

Hi Pete,

yes, sure :-)

My question is: is she using flat wound strings to get such a warm and defined sound?

[andreapenna]

And the answer is:
no, she is not using flats. She replied to me: "[color=#000000][font=Calibri][size=4]The strings I’m using are Marcus Miller DR Fatbeams"[/size][/font][/color]

[color=#000000][font=Calibri][size=4]By the way, I like the flat D'Addario XL Chrome - just had to tight the neck nut to compensate for the extra tension.[/size][/font][/color]
[font="Calibri"][size="3"][color="#000000"]I will try the Fatbeams in the other bass when will change the Elixir.[/color][/size][/font]
