Exposed core and taper core strings

[funknasty]

I am trying to find different exposed and taper core strings. I tried the Ken Smith taper cores but they lost their zing a bit quick. F Bass makes some and Rotosound makes some as well. Any reviews on those strings and any others would be helpful.

I'm using the F Bass steel round-wounds with exposed cores on my Jerzy Drozd. Very nice strings with an even tone from string to string. Jerzy ships his basses from the shop with GHS exposed core strings. I want to try those next.

Also, Sadowsky makes tapered string sets. I especially like the Blue Label round-wound steels.
