FM66 Funkmaster : Slap that bass!

8 years ago

This set made it fun to play bass again, and really opened up for the slap/pop technique due to their playability and great tone!

The lightness of these strings lessens the workload on your fingers, which for me, made fast triplets fills and double thumb slapping a lot easier to master.

They are bright sounding and make it easy to hear each note through the mix, but they might also sound a little thin for some. That is quickly solved by boosting the lows on your bass or using a eq/pre-amp pedal.

I would recommend them particularly for funk/slap, but they are very easy to play and thus quite versatile for any style in my opinion. Considering the low price, these are now my new go-to strings!
