GHS Bass Boomers or Dean Markley NPS Roundcore. Both break in very quickly; choose based on whether you want round or hex core.

also may want to look into pressure wounds, which have a compressed winding to produce a smoother touch and darker sound.

BSO sells GHS, SIT, Roto, and Ken Smith pressure wounds. Invalid Link Removed

The Dean Markley Helix are somewhat inverse pressure wounds, as they are compressed side to side, as opposed to traditional pressure winds which flatten the string to allow more contact per wind. The helixes do the opposite, and thus allow for more winds on each string.

A Warm Round would be a nickel plated stainless steel wrap for a nice strong warm magnetic field. Plus a nice strong high mass hex core for the good solid sexually thrusting 'umph' you just can't get out of a round cored string.

DR Nickel-Plated Lo-Riders
or
D'Addario EXL-170BT's (also nickel-plated stainless)

I love them both and give a high thumbs up to the D'Addario Balanced Tension. Fabulous tone that rocks good and hard.

Just put a set of Dean Markley Helix NPS on an Epi EB-3. Nice mellow tone, compression wound, smooth surface, nice strings. Pure nickel rounds might do the trick, too.
