Rotosound 77s.They're flats. As they say in the Ads
in Bass Player, they have a " Unique presence. " I don't know about presence(sounds like a ghost standing next to you) but, there's something about them. I haven't tried Thomastiks yet, but the Rotos
do it for me. Very nice and predictable response.

Blue Steels and D'Addario Slowounds as a rule, .130-.045 guage. I like the tone of these strings, they are clear, crisp, punchy, warm, and have nice low mids.
Ive tried Fender in the past and didnt care for them, they didnt feel right and didnt have as good a tone as my 2 favorites, Ive also tried GHS Boomers and to quote Oystarman "yuck" they have no longevity, and sound way too metalic for my liking. Peavey Stainless Steels Ive used one time as well, they had a great tone for slap bass, but didnt have the warmth that the nickel plated ones i like do. and god did they feel rough on the fingers.
