using 130s.
Tuned to BEAD of course, a little sumtin' sumtin' I picked up from the frimframtabulous Snaxie.
It sounds tremendous. Any of teh bassers on here should give it a whirl for kicks, it are nice.

I do not even have any idea what strings are on my bass at all. Whatever it left the SX factory with, er, several years ago?

That is what I had on it as well. Yeah, they are pretty damn light gauge, but not bad strings at all. These feel like POWAHLIENS! |

Hmm. I don't know if i would be into that. I have a weirdly light touch on all of my instruments. I used to be a brute, 12s/13s on the guitars, drumcorps sticks on the drums, breaking bass strings one a week, etc... But now, not so much. Whatever the ghettochinese SX strings are on the bass i have now, i get along with pretty well. I suppose gaugewise, they are likely to be some sort of sissylight.

That is a very interesting concept.... a 4 string tuned like a 5 string.... whenever i get a bass in the distant future I just might have to try that

Yeah. Well these are not really very thick strings, considering I am tuned to BEAD. They would be considered your medium gauge 5-stringers. There are always lighter gauges for the tuning. I think you might like to mess around with it just for the awesome bassy punch. Then again, bass strings are fucking priiiiiicey. Goddamn. |

How much of the nut did you have to ream out for that B string? Would going back to the previous gauge mean low E buzzing or a new nut? |

I took a little bit out of the nut, the B sits nicely but it could be a little more snug. I didn't take any more out because I thought about that as well, but I figure I might file it out to fit the 130, etc and grab a new nut if I decide to go back to standard (which would mean I bought a five string. |

The A (E) string was an issue on my Jazz; the 100 kept popping out of the nut. I might keep the thing and replace the pickups. Maybe MECs like what's in Warwicks. But I digress. Also, clips nao.

I'm hoping to get some recording done tonight or tomorrow. School is whipping my ass all over the place. |
