Need new strings for my bass...

[PAz]

Hi, I've been playing bass guitar for almost a year now and I think the strings need replacing (I got the bass second hand also, so the current strings have probably been on there ages).

I'm still very much a beginner so I dont want to spend loads on a set of strings, but would rather invest in some relatively decent strings I guess.

Can any recommend anything, and also where to buy them?? I would go to the local music shop round here but they are damn expensive and I'm a poor student

Oh it's a 4 string bass too.

Thanks

OK thanks, £20 is fine, I'm still a little unclear though.

My bass is either tuned in standard or drop D depending on what im playing...(I mainly [try to] play Springsteen bass lines or stuff like Metallica etc

I've been looking at this site, which I found in the sticky

http://www.stringbusters.com/ko-kat/BASS STRINGS/DADDARIO/

Which would you recommend for me? I was thinking either the regular or the heavy from the D'Addario Nickel Plated Roundwound range...

Thanks for the help, gone for the D'Addarios medium's and some cleaner

Cheers!
