I'm a big fan of Smith strings.

Really tone down nicely in a week or two depending on how much you play. Doesn't have a Taper, but I've used them on several Schecters without bridge problems... just lower that B-string saddle a bit to compensate for the wider string at bridge.

"DR Longnecks" Bright with a ringy top, aggressive midrange & great low end growl. You wont want anything else.
