Re: Favorite Bass Strings?
All bass strings except for ultralight supercheapies can last next-to-forever
Just take em off and give them a nice solvent rinse to degunk every once in a while.... WD40 > kerosene > 90% ipa works wonders (toss em in a container, pour each step in, stir em around, then dump out and repeat with next solvent)"New stuff always sucks" -Me

DR Extra Life 45-105 except the Squier Bronco has a set of La Bella Deep Talkin' Bass stainless flats 45-105.

Which is why many people play electric guitars but very very few of them are actually musicians.

Dunlop 45-105 super bright stainless steels. I give me a good metal sound when I need it, and then I can roll back the tone and play straight up Motown.Schecter ATX Blackjack C7 BKP Painkiller (B) and Abraxas (N)
Hagstrom Hj800 Jazzbox stock pickups
Fender Jazz Bass EMG MJ Set
Music Man SUB Ray5 stock pickups
Line 6 Helix
Dunlop Strings and Picks

Re: Favorite Bass Strings?
I like dunlops ok, but I'm back to EB. The feel is the best part, not to mention they are a stones-throw away for more if I need them.
Now, what I used to like but got tired of mail-ordering were the "Fodera" strings. Nice gauge, good quality and a little slinkier than the average fair. I really want to try a few La Bella sets but hate ordering bass strings online.

DR Hi Beams on my Warwick, Thunderbird and Jazz and DR Flats on my Precision and Violin Basses. I did like the Dr Nickels for easy playability. Haven't tried the Fatbeams or Sunbeams. Did not like any of the Rotosounds.
