Everyone's favorite strings?

They don't get enough love around here....but....

Sadowsky

I've tried the Flats, Stainless and Nickels

Currently have Sadowsky Flats on my P-Bass and and Sadowsky Stainless rounds on my Jazz and couldn't be happier. I find the tensions on all 3 sets to be perfect.
 
I believe in Rotosounds: Jazz 77 for flats, Swing 66 or BS66 for rounds. These two are the strings that have wowed me since installing them. Others strings make me go "very nice sound"! The Rotosound tone (66 stainless steel, 77) makes my jaw drop a la Wile E. Coyote when Roadrunner makes his dashing escape on his face. They are, IMO, very unique sounding, or at least, I dig the tone a lot.
