Acoustic Phosphor Bronze for Electric?

[Kromwarp]

Anybody tried doing this? I'm a bit curious to what the results would be, is the tone even brighter than Stainless steels?

Won't work. The bronze strings won't have enough ferrous material to interact with the magnetic field of the pickups to create a useful signal.

Kromwarp, what, specifically, is it about those strings that you like? Perhaps there's an electric bass string that would come close.

The thought had just kind of occurred to me, I just wondered if they would offer an even brighter, punchier tone than even a stainless steel strings, which is what I use currently.
