I got this idea from the Pedalboards of the Stars thread in the Effects forum.
Post a bassist, the band he/she is with (or if they are solo), and what strings they use! Be as specific as possible and try to include gauges.

Jeff Berlin plays Carl Thompson strings.
Janek Gwizdala plays a custom Fender stainless steel set.
Garrett Sayers from The Motet plays Ernie Balls.

P-Nut of 311 also uses GHS Boomers, but the five string set.

Entwistle being the first to make these strings famous, of course. |

P-Nut of 311 also uses GHS Boomers, but the five string set. | I think the flea sig have a different core, but are pretty much the same string.
Timmy C uses Ernie Balls

I've just been mucking around this afternoon trying to emulate his 'typewriter' technique on my Roto-wearing Tokai P- when I managed to control the attack and get a clean hit on the string, I was astonished by the volume, and sheer amount of harmonic information that rings out. An amazing technique when controlled, and the tone is really unique. Digging in with a pick gives a somewhat similar effect but minus the sheer piano- or bell-like tonal quality. |
