Okay i know this probabally gets posted a lot but im in a rush.

Got a fender precision, a nice one too, and NEED strings replaced.

Flatwounds are fine.

Rotosounds are good, but they hurt your fingers, and tear up the fret board. You should just get some Curt Mangan steelwounds in a thick gauge. Curt Mangan strings are starting to be very popular do to the quality of the sound, and their durability

I play only a P Bass and love GHS Bass Boomers - Light
These strings turn heads when their new.
