    What are the best strings for a soprano ukulele? Aquila New Nylgut, or D'Addario Nyltech?

    I've never bought ukulele strings. But, I used D'Addario on my basses for a while in the '90's. I use DR strings now.

    Good luck with whatever you choose!

    This would be much more interesting if the question were “What’s the best string bikini on a U.K. lady”. There could then have been pictures of bikini clad women and ultimately comparisons of women from other countries. Perhaps even with pictures of 5th Gen 4Runners on a beach with bikini clad women. So much wasted potential.

    Should I change my strings after 5000 songs or 10,000?

    You play bass? :cheers:

    What kind?

    Never tried La Bella. I tried a bunch of different ones back in the '90's and landed on DR Hi Beams. I might try Elixers sometime, out of curiosity.

    Yes sir, I'm the substitute bassist for my daughter's youth choir. I play Ernie Ball Music Man StingRay5 with an old TC Electronic 2x10 amp.
    Primarily play the acoustic guitar (Martin HD28E with LR Baggs Anthem + Boss GT100) for the adult choir.
