    I am going to get some nickel strings because I have never had any and I think they will have the tome I am looking for. I think I am going to get D'Addario XL but I was wondering what other good nickel strings are out there. Thanks

    Lakland (for extra long scale) Ken Smith, Thomastik,
    Ernie Ball and Martin/Darco's. I've used all of these with
    very good results, depending on the bass. What kind(s) of
    bass(es)?
