Ibanez SR with Nordstrand Big Singles?

I have a Ibanez SR5XX with the Nordstrand big singles pickups. IT came with the typical Elixir strings like most of the other Ibanez basses. I like the Elixirs on my other Ibanez basses but would like something with a little more midrange and growl for this bass. I have used the DR Sunbeams and liked those but was also thinking about eh GHS Pressue wounds.

I wasn't so pleased with the GHS strings, so I threw them away quickly If you like the DR Sunbeans, put those on you Ibby!

You could also try Ernie Ball Super Slinky strings, they are good for midrange and some growl

More mids and growl? Sounds like rotosound swing66 is worth a try.
