    Stingray 5 Nut Recommended string gauages? (lighest - heaviest)

    Hey guys,

    i love my stringray and therefore i dont want to crack my nut... ive done it once before on another bass were the strings i put on were just a little thicker than stock.

    Does anyone happen to no the lightest gauge and heaviest strings i can put on?

    ive got a SR5 '06 so it has the compensation nut? (i think its called that).

    Just atm i am wishing to chuck on some DR coated strings but am just a little cautious so that i dont buy them and find that they dont fit properly and/or crack my nut or make an innotation problem, etc.

    the DR's are 45 65 (same as stock) but with 85 105 & 125.


    Thanks for your help guys!

    Also which colour coated you guys rekon i should use (ive got a maple neck and trans orange bass) im thinking hot pink or the light blue colour...

    I once had a bongo strung with 55-75-95-135 for a while with no broblems, well except it didn't ffel or sound like I wanted it too.
    bovinehost: Yes, I do agree with that, but if there's nothing wrong then there's nothing wrong.
    Beth: I would compare Bongo to Tommy Lee Jones. Bad a$$ and just hot in a weird way...
    cheezewiz: They should take their lace thongs off and play bass.
