I mostly play with the in single coil mode. Kind of a Jazz Bass sound. This is the one SIT set I've tried and they rock. They're really bright for nickel and last a long time. The use a hex Swedish Steel core like Rotosounds. I don't know what Swedish Steel is but, I've tried every string and I think I'm going to stick with these for some time. |

The SS was hard on my skin. I should try the nickel ones as you said. |

The dynamic range of the Sterling with the Labella flats is unsurpassed by anything I've played. From barely audible to as hard as I can pull. No matter how much I dig in, there's always more. |

When I use EBMM strings I like the hybrid set. Its funny I love slinkys on my P-bass but not so much on the sterling. |

But the 5-string Regular Slinky set is 45-65-80-100-130. Go figure. |

|  | Registered User | | Join Date: Mar 2006 Location: Lansing, Michigan | | | Regardless, EB Regular Slinky's sound great for funk/rock. For something a little more refined, I found that Hi-beams work great. I have also had good luck with Diaddario XL's and Half Wounds. I never put flats on (for very long) on this bass when I had it.
Saxnbass is the new owner of my old Sterling.
