Here is my personal journey so far: I began playing this bass through my Yorkville 400B with Fender stock rounds, my sound seemed to lack the real deep stuff and it was too bright. I was looking for the natural lows not boosted EQ lows.

At the same time that I was trying to work on that deal i had purchased a set of TI 100s. Right out of the package I loved the tone difference, with everything set flat on the amp EQ there beautiful mids, no more piano sounds, no more string scretch, a nice and warm smooth feeling string; but i still was looking for a bit more low E punch.

So, from there I ordered La Bella deep talking 105s, recommended by this site. BUT before they came in I bought another amp rig a new Trayner DB 800 Head and an older 92ish single 15 Ampeg cab; by the time I hooked the rig up my new strings arrived. I put um on, gave her a try and Holy Crap bottom end WOW.....TOO MUCH believe it or not at home and the small clubs. At big clubs and while outside OMG they were sweet.

Now, here is the catch: next rehearsal I played through my old Yorky combo and bingo, there was the original deep tones i was looking for, out of my, now, practise AMP. I was thinking *** these Strings made a huge difference.

SO, here is my opinion: my bigger rig for indoors and smaller clubs, TI 100s. Outside and big clubs, La bella deep talkers and my smaller Yorky. La Bella on all occasions indoors or out. Don’t even need the big rig, but its stayin’. I also tried Daddario halfrounds through both amps; I’m OUT, I will never play rounds again. I seem to have lost my TI 100s, I want to try them so bad on the big rig to tame her bottom end down ......

It's not my intention to insult you but I fixed this up a bit to make it easier to read, I hope I retained your original intentions.

Sounds like you're set on flats. You're certainly not alone here.

If you're asking for more strings to try, you may like Daddario Chromes, but they might sound too close to rounds for you. If you really like the TIs you may just get another set of those.
