What Nickel Strings would you recommend on a 70`s P Bass

My Labellas 760Fl, which i love and also hate have to leave my basses..it is time for roundwounds again.
I played formerly D`Addario EXl 165 on my P basses, and i am now looking for very musically, nickel rounds..what would you recommend?

Fender 7250. Cheap enough to try on a whim, but chances are youll love it on a p.

Dunlop nickels are cheap in Europe and sound fabulous.

I'm getting some great vibe from GHS Pressure Wounds, which sound somewhere in between a roundwound and a flatwound. If you're torn between the two, these strings might do it for you.

For a roundwound, I'd second the Dunlop suggestion. Great strings.

7150's are THE classic tone IMO

7250 MLs are my faves on my MIM 50's P.
