Any recommendations guys and girls?

Saw some TI flats (Short scale) in the shop, good with this bass? and any round wound for consideration?

Slight edition, I was also recommended with TI flats and D'Addario Chrome, too. So any roundwounds?

I have TI flats on a DC Bass, they sound great.

I use EB super slinkies--have found that rounds exploit the mid range honk of these things in a pleasing way

I have Fender flats on my Danny.

Thomastic flats sound great on a Dano. That's what I have on my DC.

I've never tried TI's on my longhorn, (do the even come in shorts?)... I wasn't bowled over by them on a Fender P, but so many others love them that I have to believe that they're a great choice...

My personal Longhorn is wearing D'Addario Chromes... The D'Addario EXLs in short scale are a great nickel roundwound that also appeals to me on the Dano...

Robert

Thanks also for your advice, too.

It just so happen that TI flats are the short scale string they have in the shop over here, so it is the natural choice.
