Best strings for a Gibson SG Bass?

That's the only thing that counts. Seriously.

To *my* ear, EB strings are mellow. But do bear in mind that I've been playing stainless steel rounds 99% of the time over the past four decades and that the same term may very well mean very different things to the two of us.

Play that Gibby in good health and enjoy.
You’re absolutely right. Everyone has their own idea of the sound they like and it’s great when you find the combination that gives you the sound you’re looking for.
