Agreed - strings in general are so very subjective - it's like ice cream, so many brands - so many flavors.
My Aerodyne was my first bass & I strung it
with Black Beauties just because it looked cool. Later I did some non-invasive mods as Inwas underwhelmed by the pickups, later on I found I was not playing it as much - I have become more of a 5 string player & considered selling.
I got involved with an music circle jam group & was their primary bassist for several years - we did allot of acoustic roots type music & some oldies & I was looking for more of a classic old school thump, a set of DR Legends & the Aerodyne became my go to bass for those sessions.
Later I discovered Ben & Jerry's Chocolate Therapy
But that, my friends, is a discussion for another
