Hey guys. I've been neglecting my bass because of school, and I haven't bought strings in a very long time (over 2 years!). I've been searching around and read a bunch of ppl saying the Lo-riders are nice for rock (not heavy metal, just like Metallica, Tool, Alice in Chains, and Chevelle), but they advertise them saying they're the best for fretless. Will they have a nice warm, full tone even with my Warwick Corvette STD 5-string? I'm sorry if this seems dumb, I'm just so out-of-touch with my bass.  Thanks a lot! 
BTW, this is going through my Hartke 3500 into an Aguilar 112 is this makes any difference.. lol. Thanks

Hi-Beams (which I use) have a brighter tone (they're steel), but if you can get your hands on a set of heavy-guage Hi-Beams, you might want those for a really, really, really growly, deep, rock tone. They also mellow out with age, and are really warm with treble pot rolled back. I dunno, but I like them. |

BTW- I couldn't find heavy, so I got mediums. They're the same size as what I have now. Is there a big difference in sound with the smaller string?
