New string recommendation for my GL

[bkk130]

I'm looking to buy new strings for my Geddy Lee with less tension. I'd like to hear some recommendations.(Especially from GL owners) What do you guys think?

I have a GL and all I use are Snake Oil strings, the SL set (45-100). I absolutely love them, and made no truss adjustments or anything like that when I put them on. I use Snake Oils on all of my guitars and basses.

No employee or anything like that, just a very satisfied customer.

It depends what type of tone you want, but I'm very happy with TI flats on my G&L L 2000 Trib.

Well, what is it strung with right now?

I look for a string with the tone I want, and deal with the tension. That said, I'm running Fender flats on mine. I also replaced the bridge with a vintage style. This combo gives me the tone I want.

In the past I've used both Smith strings and the Roto's. The Smith slapmasters are a good string but ultimately I just prefer the tone of flats. This bass has finally really started to sound like the bass I wanted when I bought it, once I changed the bridge and went to flats.

I'm convinced that while it sounds very good stock, an overwound neck pickup on this bass would give it the lowend grunt it was supposed to have. The topend is already very present with this bass.
