Please don't chastise mefor using Pete Wentz as an example...but the tone I'm going for can be heard perfectly in the opening to Fall Out boy's "Dance Dance".

I currently use these and have been pleased for the most part. I wanted to know if there is a set of strings out there that may be better suited for what I'm trying to accomplish.

Thanks.

Not to be short but are you happy with them? If so, then play on! Strings are such a personal issue, what I may like you may hate and vice versa. I like EB strings but are not currently using them (only one bass at the moment). I find Daddario nickels to be very similar but to be honest, have never found a string that was the end all for me. For me, the quest continues but I am having fun on the journey!

Thanks for the input. I understand your have never found a string that was the end all for me comment. I know coated strings provide a fatter, smoother sound, and that the thicker the gage, the bigger the sound...I was just looking for some feedback and the opinion of an experience musician to listen to the song as an example of what I'm going for and if I'm in the right direction. I also understand that much more than the strings will provide the tone, but knowing which ones will help most is a useful piece of information. Thanks again.
