Lakland Stainless Steel Replacement Strings

Hey guys. I currenlty play a Lakland 55-01 with what I'm assuming is the factory setup. I'm wondering if anyone knows of another string that has the same dimensions as the Lakland Stainless Steel strings. The tone of the Lakland strings seem to fade a little quick for me but I don't want to have to adjust the bass when I replace the strings. Any suggestions are greatly appreciated.

It would have to be the same tension as well as dimension. It is fairly easy to learn how to setup a bass. Just get strings you like and adjust the bass after you put them on. I've tried a bunch of different strings and have had no choice but to do setups. Once you get what you like it doesn't take much work.

GHS makes the Lakland strings, I believe, so my guess is that you could find a GHS stainless option that is very similar.

Thanks a lot for the help. I get a little nervous when it comes to tweaking the neck. I'll check out the GHS stuff. I'm sure that they taper close to the same, or at least I hope they will.
