@2manyYep, I did. Though I never saved a copy of the catalogs down the line, back in the day I spent quite a bit of time studying them. If I remember correctly my EP5 tiger eye is a 2005.

I scored it new off one of the many ads for those that were there at the time on eBay. I think I paid $836.
Once posted it on craigs list for 450 and no one called on me. I have fiddled a bit on it, but it is still like new.
Planning a string change away from the original to the roto sounds, but have not gotten around to it. I figure I'll just keep it and use it as an alternative sounding bass during sessions and recording.

I am some what ignorant about SOME things. Before I get started, will these medium scale strings fit my edge?
I chose this gauge as to not have to file the brass nut. And what I mean is length.
The strings you purchased are medium scale (32”) and your Edge Pro is long scale (34”)
More than likely they’ll be long enough but the winding length may be too short. What this means is that the string taper will start before the nut rather than after the nut which will make the string set lower, be lose (causing intonation issues) and possibly cause fret buzz at the first or second fret. The string taper should always start just after the nut and before the tuning machine.
You can do a dry run and place the new string next to the old string from bridge to nut and see where the string taper starts.
The Rotosound strings you bought may possibly work on your Stylist.
I say ‘possibly’ because even though the Stylist is 32” scale it has a trapeze piece which may require the use of long scale strings too.
For your Pro ‘medium gauge’ (thickness of string range) would be fine, but ‘medium scale’ (length of string) is not fine.

The Edge Pro originally came with either .040 to .100 or .045 to .105
The modern Edge pro select comes with the latter.
