Which ernie ball slinky strings would best suit a growly rock sound?

Depends on the bass you play. On my Sandberg Jazz, the slinkys were a little too stiff and the bridge pickup missed that typical JB sound. With XLs from D´Addario it´s all fine. With my ATK it´s the other way around. To little bite with the XLs and wonderful sound with EBs Super Slinkys.

I love the sound and feel of EB Super Slinkys. And they're relatively cheap.

I used to use the hybrid slinky set because the were 105-45 gauges.

I used the Ernie Ball super slinky, pink package, 45-100 gauge when I used them. They do help basses that could use a little more crunch and growl accent imo.
