What strings does Rocco Prestia use?

Does he use flats or rounds?
Did he use flats on the Credit song? Man I really love the stuttering tone he gets on this tune. Best bassline in a song ever!

I can't get over to the site of his.I checked it before and it said roundcores I believe so I wasn't really sure. Flats have roundcores also.
I think this is a fairly recent endorsement. The Power album on which Credit,the song,is listed was in '88. I wonder if he ever used flats in his career or on this album?

Okay thanks that is really helpful. I bet he has fairly high action and/or uses heavy gage because if you listen to "Credit" there is this awesome stuttering tone with absolutely no fret noise.
