Everything you ever wanted to know about electric bass guitar strings
Above is a set of strings I just bought that will be coming in the mail soon, the Dunlop DBN45105 bass string set, as in a 4-string set. I figured that since I use nothing but Dunlop DEN0942 strings on my Jazzmaster and am very happy with those, maybe the bass strings will be good too.
I play both guitar and bass, but for the longest time I knew nothing about how to pick the right bass string, so I figured I'd write up a quick guide on that.
New bass in the barn.
Asking when strings should be changed is a loaded question because it can be answered in many ways. However, there are a few things that will make it pretty obvious when you need to change your strings.
