    Randy Jackson Signature Strings

    Well i recently bought a set of the RJS strings and all i could think was WOW I loved how they sounded, they had a great bassy midrangy sound, i'll post some sound clips at some point, but i really loved how they sounded.

    Rounds on my new fretless...

    I just got a new Corvette Standard fretless. It totally rocks! :D:D:D Anyway, I love that ballsy roundwound sound, and I like my big, nasty vibrato style, so I am probably going to be putting more-than-average wear on the fingerboard. My question is, how do I protect the fingerboard...

    Gunky Strings

    Hey guys, I know I have sweaty hands, and they get even sweatier when I pick up a hot looking instrument, but I wipe the strings off after I play, and after a few weeks I end up getting discolored spots and "gunky" sections on the strings. Is there a string cleaner I can use when they are...

    your favourite strings?

    i've always used DR Hi-beams for my corvette passive and like how they sound, but i'm curious what strings other people swear by. the sound i always look for is the classic woody jaco-ish growl, so i guess from that perspective i'm wondering what other people here would recommend, particularly...

    Colored strings on my Streamer LX 5?

    Hello :) I've got a question concerning my Warwick bass. I would like to buy colored strings for it but I can't find them anywhere except in MusicStore (I'm from Germany). The problem with my bass is that I need special(?!) strings because of the saddle. At the moment I use Warwick Black...

    Cheap strings

    So I have a dilemma. I love the sound of new strings, and since I got my streamer, I play every day for 3 or so hours. This is wonderful and my songwriting is improving exponentially, but my strings die quickly... like... They lose the new sound (I really like it for harmonics and tapping, etc)...

    Elixir strings & Warwick coated strings

    Tried to install these Elixir strings on 5 string Wick and to my disappointment I noticed that the E and B strings are too thick from the rear end, so when attaching them to saddle (correct name?) the string won't fit in the hole from where it should go to the bridge. With violence I was able to...

    Round core VS. Hex core strings

    I know that nickel strings are warmer than steel strings but effect what does the difference in core shape have on the sound? I've been playing DR Hi-Beams (Steel plated, round core strings) for a while now and realized that my basses that have Ernie Ball strings (Nickel plated, hex core)...
