jackthejesusfreak Posted March 15, 2009 Report Share Posted March 15, 2009 What’s the opinion on which bass strings to use? I have an Ibanez GSRM20 bass guitar. I ordered two extra sets of D’Addario EXL170S for the short sale bass I bought. Any opinions or advice? I am a new bass player. I’ve played 6 strings ford 44 years. The praise band leader at much church asked me if I could play bass. I accepted the challenge. I don’t need a bass because I play through their system at church. I bought a stethoscope amp to practice with. I have a budget of 200 dollars. I know I can get the best deal on ebay, amazon etc. What brand of bass amps do you veterans recommend? I have no clue on bass equipment. Jack Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Prostheta Posted March 15, 2009 Report Share Posted March 15, 2009 I'm quite happy with Line6 gear on the basis that you have many tones to play with, and they're a doddle for recording. Once you grow into a "particular" tone you could invest in a "specific" amp further down the line. Not sure if any of the "Lowdown" range fits within $200. Just throwing my ideas around.
