(I am posting this in the hopes that the moderators will move it to resources if they see fit.)

I am continuously seeing threads posted in the bass forum as to what would be the best strings to buy, or what type of strings would best suit a certain type or genre of music. So hopefully this can be a resource thread to answer any questions arising regarding bass strings.

Hopefully the following questions should cover sufficiently which strings are good for what. (Please do not post if you see a certain string type has already been covered)

1. Name of String Brand (e.g. rotosound)
2. String Name (e.g. Swing Bass Series)
3. Type of Wound (e.g. Flat, Round)
4. Guage
5. Tone Treble (holding of tone in treble range)
6. Tone Mids (holdng of tone in mids range)
7. Tone Bass (holding of tone in bass range)
8. Style/s of music best suited to this Brand of Strings
9. Average Lifespan of Strings (please submit your average play time in hrs)

hopefully this covers enough info if not also include in your posts further questions that should be covered and i will include them.

thank you

(again to moderators, if you see fit please move this to resources)
