What to try next on my SR5?

Looking to switch things up a bit. I have TI flats on my Sterling and like it that way, so Im considering trying a new type of string for my SR5.

Im debating between D'Addarrio Chromes, and TI Superalloys.

Which of the two would you recommend?

I would vote for variety, and since you already have one stoked out in flats, I'd go with rounds. Are the Superalloys the same as the Magnecore? I'd go with them.

Hey Travis,I've been totally happy with Elixirs on all my MM basses.Great tone and they last forever. BTW,you still have that great looking Sterling I want?

I'll ditto the Elixirs. They sound great on my SR5.

Be a man and throw some hot pink DR's on there.

To compliment the SRs strong mids, I'd look into some nickel rounds if it were me. DR sunbeams would be my first choice.

Hmm, I just put Sunbeams on my SR. I didn't like it at all... too middy. Wound up putting some LowRiders back on. Those strings are absolutely perfect in my opinion. Articulate, but they still slam.
