Strings for Dean Rhapsody

[jbrave]

Yesterday I traded in a couple of my basses and got a "new" 8 string Dean Rhapsody. The bass had been at the store forever and the strings are corroded and sticky. Who makes strings for this bass, and which would you recommend?

Thanks,

When I was an 8 string bassist (an experiment that failed due to my short fingers) I used this SIT set:
S I T Strings Electric Bass Power Wound Nickel Long 8 String Octave, .018 - .095, NR81895L
The price was good, and the sound was great. I would use this set and not the lighter set, which was what the bass came with, due to the lack of lowend.
I have had a lot of success with SITs.
Best of luck.
