I just got my first hollow body bass and am wondering what other people use on them For strings. I play mostly classic rock and Such

LaBella Flats or D'Addario Chromes.

Do you have a Jack Cassady Bass and use these strings on it? If so how do you find the tension of the LaBellas and how do they effect the neck.

I have a Guild Starfire Hollowbody, and I use TI Jazz Rounds on it. I like definiition of rounds on a hollowbody, and at the same time the TI Jazz Rounds are very warm and mellow sounding. They're also light gauge / low tension, which I love

I use Labella Deep Talkin' flats on most of my basses - they're perfect for a vintage rock sound. Tension has never been a problem on any bass I've used them on, solid or hollowbody.

I vote for the Labella Deep Talkin' Flats.

I had a Brice Beatle Bass with LaBella's and I needed no neck adjustments.

I had a Cassady bass.

I tried, DR-Low Riders,TI-Flats.
Both were good.
But Ken Smith Compressors worked best.
A little more treble, tha TI's.
But still had good bottom.
Plus smooth feel.
They worked well with Pickup.
