OK, so I use D'Addario XL's.
Looks as if they don't make a set in the "super long" (for 35" scale).
I like the 5 string gauge- 45-65-80-100-130. Those I can get in the SL, but no .035 C string in SL.
So, might need to explore other options.
Like I said, the above gauge is perfect for me. just need to add a C string.
What is the stock gauge that comes on a 3006? Brand?

If you're looking for options, DR sets don't taper until WAY past the nut on the low strings, never had any trouble with them on my R's.

Sorry, had something caught in my throat there.  
Not that anyone axed or anything, but if you want something a little brighter and just a wee-bit lower-mids happy than D'Adds (and that last, oh 3x as long)...that fit with ease on SKB's... Cleartone. |

I've been completey happy with SIT's, though, incredibly long lasting. |

Knock knock.
(Door opens) "EVERYBODY'S WORKIN' FOR THE WEEKEND!"
(Gard passes out.)
Jerry: "Whoa. That didn't take long. Hey Bill, we still get paid, right? Travel fees are exactly $1 less than the spandex fees. Oh, BTW, thanks for letting me use your green Roscoebird bass. " |
