I play Hillbilly Larry’s Slap Bass strings on my bass fiddle. I really like the strings tone and buttery feel. The price don’t hurt none either. However, the E string has always been a little low in volume compared to the others. Last night I changed the E string back to a Perlon core steel wrapped string and that really evened out the volume level problems I was having between the strings. The tone is not as deep, but the volume level is much stronger. Looks a little funny with one bright silver string beside the 3 black strings, but I think this is a better set up for me tone and volume wise.
I was wondering what strings (mix or match) some of you use on your bass fiddles and why?
