Yeah I had trouble with sliding when I starting to play.Though I stopped using roundwound strings after the first string change. I've been flatwound and tapewound strings fan ever since.
Which brand do you prefer for strings? Any Ernie Ball users here?
I hate EB strings as they go dead really fast.
I'm a strict Thomstik Infeld, D'addario, DR, and Rotosound User.
My 6 stringers are strung with Thomstik Infeld JF346 Flatwounds though they are price a ridiculous $80 a set.I still have set on my Ibanez SR506 that I bough Two years ago.
5 stringers are strung with D'Addario Chromes and DR String High Beams Flats.
4 String basses are strung with Rotosound Tru Bass 88's also expensive at $44 though they last for years. I still have a Set on my Fender P-bass that are a least 3 years Old
I never knew EB had a dubious reputation like this. Thankfully my nickel wound Extra Slinky strings has been reliable so far.
I don't even remember what strings I have on my 5-string bass. But then again, I almost never use it anymore, so...
edit: @Slayer Nexus, I just noticed your newest cover. Your tone is hitting all the sweet spots in my ear, good job man! Love the song choice as well.
Yeah If you play long enough the EB's tend to go dead within a month which for flatwounds is really quick.
Though Flats sound mellow. Most bassist in my area Avoid EB Strings like the plague it's so bad that all the shop that used carry stopped stocking them and switched to Rotosound. That's for Basses as for guitar they're okay if you get the Pure Nickels.

My progress.
Keep in mind this is just a practice so I am just figuring out the chords by ear, Also I have the master tracks to the song so I cut out the bass.
