Comps for Carvin 6011 Medium-Light gauge strings

[djgru]

I am on my last set of Carvin 6011 Roundwound strings. They don't make these anymore.
I really like the sound, and I would like to know about comparable strings for my 6.

the stats:
standard scale
medium-light gauge (029-040-060-080-100-128)
nickel plated roundwound
"extra brilliant and loud"

Thanks!

They were LaBella Slappers, and yes LaBella quit making them.

EDIT..removed this part of my answer. I thought LaBella SuperSteps were nickel but they are steel.

Actually JustStrings is showing they still have some of the Slappers in ExtraLong. If 38" isn't too long, you might be in luck! It's probably too long for the B string though.

But outside of that, they were just standard nickel rounds so you may be fine with some D'Addario XL or Ernie Ball Slinkys. Those don't have silks though, I can't think of any nickels that do have silks anymore other than GHS Boomers which have red silks.

This is no help to the OP, but Swing Bass Nickels have silks (light blue I think?)

This is correct.

Mine are Nickel plated Rounds. Not sure about the Silks.
