Strings choice is a very underestimated aspect by many bass players. keeping in mind that the 90% of the sound is determined by the couple body + pickups of the instrument, strings contribute anyway to the timber, sharpening and creating particular shades of the sound.<\/p>\n

Due to the fact that predilections change, it may be that the sound you want from your bass could change too. Personally, I changed from a rounded sound to a more brilliant and warm one. Without considering pedal effects that can improve your sound (I will write something about this later), let’s focus on strings.<\/p>\n

During the years I had the opportunity to test many kind of strings, being always quite satisfied. Here are the brands that, in my opinion, deserve to be highlited: Galli<\/a>, D’Addario<\/a>, RotoSound<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\"Galli<\/a>Galli<\/strong>‘s Rock Star Bass<\/a><\/strong> were the first strings I used. Not so robust, to be honest, but with an intense sound, nearer to the kind of sound I used to prefer in the past. great presence but not so brilliant as I prefer today.<\/p>\n

\"D'Addario<\/a>D’Addario<\/a><\/strong> strings were the strings I used most, in every dimension and type. Great endurance, but I had the sensation that they lose their brilliant property too fast. I mean, every kind of string lose their “true” sound as time pass by but the ones I used were particularly fast in this aspect.<\/p>\n

\"RotoSound<\/a>Since a year I’m using RotoSound swing bass 66<\/a><\/strong> strings, the best choice ever. They’re a little more expensive but I’m completely satisfied. The first time I played these strings I was not so completely pleased by the sound, but after some days I change my mind: they’re the best I ever played!<\/p>\n

I’ll post soon an audio sample of my sound so I can better explain you what I mean \ud83d\ude09<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
