I used to use D'addarios and still think they're good strings but I'm now into TI Superalloys and EB Hybrid (nickel) Slinkys. Both of these sets are .105-.45. The TIs are rather expensive but last for quite a long time and the EBs are cheaper and don't last as long. YMMV. The TIs seem to be the warmer of the two brands but again, YMMV. |

I am also playing some Fender 7250s that are 45-100 and they seem real easy to play. DR Highbeams have a reputation of being a flexible string as well.
I played LaBella Hard Rockin' Steels in a 40-100 gauge for a while. They are fast and light.

I just bought a Yamaha RBX JM2 and I am led to believe that they come with D'Addario strings. Can anyone tell me if this is true and if so, what gauge they are please? I have looked around for string specs for this bass but to no avail. Thanks and take care.
Cheers,
Matt

Also D'Addario XL nickels never have silk wraps.

The D'Addarios that I know have silk wraps are Chromes, with light blue silk.
