"Best" strings for Gibson SG?

[red4andwikked6]

So I have me one of those SG standards, and I've gone through several sets of all different kinds of strings, with a set of D'Addario short scale chrome flats on it currently. Previously I've had Bootzillas and DR's Marcus Miller set. These were all quite different but I was wondering if there was a "best" kind of string to put on a short scale bass that has a lot of low end without it sounding too muddy. Also, high tension is important.

I know it has a lot to do with personal preference, but does anyone know of a particular set that would suit this bass the best?

I recently put a set of Sound City flats on my eb3. I had to trim the wrap at the ball end to get them to fit. The problem with 30" scale compared to 34" scale is the E string just doesn't sound/punch the same. Larger diameter strings seem to help this problem a bit, but for 40+ years I've been trying to solve this problem too. I just installed a set of chromes on my LB75 and love the tone. What don't you like about them? I think I got a bad B string and on Monday I'm calling d'addario for a replacement. I hear customer service is great. BTW I'm very happy with the Sound City strings. So much so, my Gibson is now back in the gig bass rotation. I play mostly Classic Rock, Blues, and Country. Years ago I also installed a Model One with series parallel and that helped tame some of the thunder.

I had the Chromes at first then went to Roto 77's Love them

It's not exactly an SG, but I use either Rotosound 77 Jazz Bass flats or Rotosound 88 Tru Bass tapewound on my old EB-3. Very happy with both.
