Are you sure that it's green enough for you, MM?

Update:
My "PJ5 with Sadowsky Flats" experiment has run it's course.
I like the way they sound well enough, but they feel "grabby/tacky," and I just don't feel I can move about on them as comfortably as I'd like.
That, and I just miss how much skank that bass has with fresh blue stainless on it.
Which is what it has on it now. So I got that goin' for me.

We cut our nuts for 45-130. If you put on a higher gauge, you can feel if the string is sticking in the nut slot by pulling the string up and out of the slot. If you feel resistance, take it to a tech to have the slots opened up a bit.

I strung my Will Lee with .50-..110 for a band that tunes down to D. It was fine. May have added a touch of widening to the E string but I can't recall if my tech had to when setting it up. It is back in E now with .45-.105 no problem.
How long did you work with those strings? I found that it took about 25-30 hours of play to get rid of that grabby thing...and I'm totally in love with the way they now sound and play on my P/J5, on which they seem to be aging slowly and gracefully.
That said, you've made me curious about going to steel, which I generally don't use (I've generally preferred nickel for my fingerstyle thing).
