strings bass guitar

A few of the tuning posts on my J bass got dislodged- one very much so. (See attached photo). What is the best way to return it to its normal position without causing damage? I've tried using a vice and banging on it a little with a rubber mallet but it didn't budge a bit and I'm afraid of...

I am picking up a EHB1265MSNML today (Link below). I want to replace the stock strings, but I have no idea what I should be looking for. This will be my first ever 5 string and my first ever Multi-scale. So I'm a newb at this, and I'm looking for advice on what "Off the shelf" strings would...

Although I know he used his TS9 and Rickenbacker for the majority of his recordings in RTL, I was wondering if anyone knew if he still had his flatwound rotosounds on his bass when recording the album? I was also wondering why he was using flatwounds for Kill Em' All as well.

Can anyone tell me the difference between the la bella rx nickel and ghs balanced nickels? I am having a hard time deciding between the two.

Hi everybody. What are, in your opinion, the best string and why for a Fender Roscoe Beck 5?

I'm looking to buy some new strings for my new RedSub Coliseum Fanned Fret 5-String The strings that it came with are holding up quite well, but I'm ordering some strings for my acoustic so I may as well pick up strings for the bass as well. This is the first multiscale I've owned, so I'm not...

Does anyone have any suggestions for new strings on my Sandberg California 5? I'm not thrilled with the tension on the low B or the tone on the higher D and G strings. It's a Ken Smith style bass - low action, fast response. Maybe Ken Smith strings? Fodera? Just thought I would ask and see...

Hi, so i have a squier vintage modiffied jaguar short scale bass. And I want to change the strings, with a step up heavier gauge of strings. Right now the strings are i believe 40-95 wich is light? My question is can i fit a slightly heavier gauge without causing problems?and can the strings...

Both of my basses came with what seems to be really high strings; on my P-bass I lowered the string height somewhat and they were buzzing on the next fret before and after the adjustment. I'm thinking it could be binding in the nut or uneven fret heights, but that's another battle. On my...

Hi, I put a set of short scale Rotosound monels on my Ibanez and the silks are resting on the nut. Is it Rotosound or Ibanez (or me) that has got this wrong. Is the Artcore AGB200 actually medium scale? Cheers

I have a P-bass and a J-bass, both with roundwound strings. I want to get a set of flatwounds, but I'm not sure which one to put them on, or to put flats on both of them. I've heard people have flats on their P-bass and rounds on their J-bass and some the other way around. What do you all...

I am looking to get a nordy mute for my rickenbacker 4003s 2020 and was wondering if anyone had the exact string spacing for this bass. Thanks for the help!

I am looking for strings for a new to me Washburn bass. I have some strings that I received from a friend of mine that are roundwound with red tops. Does anyone have any idea what these might be. He said he thought they are daddario but is not sure.

Just recently picked up a 2007 five string Fender jazz bass deluxe that desperately needs new strings. I have a set of long scale D'addario strings that I thought might work, but I want some other opinions since it's a string-through body as well. Thanks for the help in advance!

D’Addario XT Thread Just read that the new D'Addario's XT strings - as announced at summer Namm 2019 - will be hitting stores and online dealers around the end of August/Labor Day Weekend, what is pretty soon. I must confess, I’d never been the biggest fan of D’Addario strings at all, but...

I bought some La Bella Deep Talkin' Bass 760 FS (.045 - .105) strings on Amazon from GearNuts. They are in clear packaging and each string is not individually wrapped. I've bought these strings many time before from different sources and I believe they've alway been individually wrapped. The...

Hi Everyone New user here, first time posting and I'm looking for some help choosing new strings. So I'm a drummer at heart but I wasn't in a position to invest in a kit and I just don't have the space to keep one, so I bought myself a bass guitar a few years ago and essentially taught myself...

DOUBLE-BALL-END NOS MAXIMA TWENTY-FOUR CARAT GOLD

I left the roundwound strings that came with my bass on for more than two years (yikes) before finally deciding to change them for the first time last week. For the replacement, I got the Ernie Ball Custom Gage Roundwounds, which seemed pretty standard and had good reviews. However, I didn't...

Hello! Im gonna buy a new set of strings today. I have a Rickenbacker 4003, and it plays great with 110 strings with C-tuning. Plays troug a Ampeg 810, with the Ampeg PF-800 head. We are a power trio, and play a type of heavy metal that can remind of stoner metal, sludge, psykadelika, groovey...

Hello there, I want to buy new strings but I don't know which gauge should I use so here I am, I play a four string bass and tune it on C# (I'm used to play tapping, slap, double thumb, etc) at the moment I play with 0.45 but I was wondering if a lighter gauge (40-95) would be fine for my tune...
