HI, im new to these forums,

iv owned a bass for about a year now and i want to purchase some new strings, and I was wondering, is there any specific or recommended string sets to buy, im into playing pop-punk-rock music, like yellowcard and possibly finch..

cheers.

Most basses come equipped with .105-.045 roundwounds.
You cant go wrong with a set of Rotosounds :thumb:

Peaveys nickel plated roundwounds are also quite good for that kind of music but I suggest you try a few different sets of roundwounds and just find your favourite strings. Thinner strings will make it easier to play but you'll lose a little as far as tone is concerned . A thicker set will have the opposite effect. I would stick to a medium gauge aboout 40 or 45.
