New String Day!
Since the bass forum is a bit dusty here, I thought I'd put up a quick post. I switched from the DR Marcus Miller stainless strings on my LTD to my old GHS Bass Boomers. The Miller's were awesome for slap but a little too clangy for everything else for me. Since I was in need of a string change anyway I decided to give GHS a spin again. They definitely have that more classic rock/blues thing going on. If I go on the EMG MMTW pickup, crank the treble, and scoop the bass I get a very nice slap tone indeed. Not quite the "rip your face off" thing that the DRs did, but still very usable. I'll want to give them a few months to see how my opinion may change as the strings get broken in a bit.
