DR Fat-Beams on a P-Bass?

Works well. I have them on my bass now, and I decided on the Fat Beams after trying 7 sets of steels and nickels.
I dont think that the string tension is low btw, some of the nickel sets I tried were lower tension. But they are more bendy thanks to the round core, which might feel like low tension. I don't have any scientific measurements though, just how it feels after trying lots of string within a month.
