i use DR Fat Beams on my Fender Jazz tho

ok ... update: i no longer own any fenders and the DR's have been replaced with Stainless Steal Super Slinkys

Depending on the gig, 11's or 12's.

I did use EB strings for a while but I could never get em to stick around for too long. So now I'm using Dean Markley's and I've had one set for just over two weeks now (really should change em!) and they still do fine. Just a bit of stretching to start off with and then they stay in tune and sound lively for ages.

Mind you, most sets I use stay in tune because of the wonderful locking tuners on my Axis SS (flame sunburst... mmmm)....

GHS Boomer 10s on my Honey-bursts

DR 11s on my G&L

DR 11s with w-G on my H150

bass&cookies · 04-02-2007, 06:42 PM

I like power or regular slinky 5's for bass
I tried some light earthwood acoustic strings on my guitar the other day, and I must say, I'm hooked!

Jay Awesome · 04-03-2007, 11:10 AM

Ernie Ball Regular Slinkys for both my bass and guitars. Well except this one time i busted a string on my guitar, and i bummed a string off my buddy, it was a GHS... But the only ones I buy are Ernie Ball's.

paranoid70 · 04-03-2007, 09:21 PM

I have pretty much only used EB Super Slinkys. This was long before I even heard about MusicMan guitars. Basically, when I was in the high school, the local record shop carried Super Slinkys, so I just got in the habit of using them. Plus, they were usually the cheapest name brand strings.
