I'm a Stainless round kinda guy... really dislike nickel rounds. I'm looking for extra light but no plain strings (all wound).
This is about were I'm looking to start.... but willing to play with the numbers where needed.
B = .125
E = .095
A = .075
D = .055
G = .040
B = .030
E = .020
I know LaBella Hard Rockin' Steels go 22 29 40 60 75 95 118 which is a tempting start since the 22 is wound... but I've never tried them. DR are my ideal, but they are only doing plain strings below 25. I liked the D'Addario Prosteel and SIT Rock Brights have been ok for me. Truth be told, I miss the Rotosound "Funkmasters" I use to use on my Ric forever ago (30 50 70 90) but I'm not I want THAT light again or not. Ken Smith steels were real nice too.
The bass is 34" scale and as responsive as a synthetic bass since all but the core is Acrylized. It has the best B I've ever played so I'm not worried about going light on the B string.
like what? for 4 and 5 string basses most everyone makes stainless sets with .090 or .095 E strings.... just not many places carry them as regular stock.

Anyone know anyone that can actually sell them to me My contact at LaBella has stopped replying and the shop I was told would have them got shipped .022 guitar strings by mistake.
cool, I didn't see them on the MTD site. Where can they be had?
I bought mine from the LA Bassexchange. Ask for Justin. I imagine other bass stores that carry MTD strings might have them too. You have to buy it as a four string set 40-100, and buy the remaining three as individual strings.

Like I said, I loved the Funkmasters on my Ric with their .090 E
