on round wound stringed
bass gutiars


I use 8s on everything. They don't go out of tune any more than any other gauge of string.
I tried the .008/.010/.015 last night. I hit the strings so hard that I was getting an oscillation on every pick strike. They felt great, but I didn't like how they sounded.
I'm sure I could learn how to pick differently, but I didnt want to ruin the mojo.
