GHS Pressurewound on my Stingray, Really?

[minimalist freedom]

My philosophy is that a Stingray is always going to sound great no matter what kind of strings it's wearing (except for steel roundwounds, which really are too zingy, even when broken in). So I use GHS pressurewounds on my Stingray simply because, of all the strings I've tried, they feel best under the fingertips.

Oh yeah!

^^^This exactly.

Pressurewounds = "rollerwound" = roundwound in basic tonal character but without the zingy brightness = semi-rounds.
Brite Flats = "groundwound" (or half-rounds) = flatwound-ish in basic tonal character with added bite and definition = semi-flats.

With Pressurewounds, as you know, the windings are pressed into an oval shape = smoother feel.

Resurrecting an old thread. I'm a new owner of a SBMM Ray5 and I'm looking around for strings. It might be time I finally order some PWs…

Since the stock pup on ray5 sound smooth, warmer compare to Ray4, pressure wound possible make overall tone get duller, especially the B string . Just imaging the dead nickel roundwound bass string.....

Suggest Dunlop Super bright Nickel 45-125 or 40-120. Lasting, great tone , comfort stiffness and smooth string surface,

If you want smooth and slick string surface but better crunchy bite , you can't go wrong with both EB 2816 & 2810. I have a set 2810 on my previous Ray5, both B and E string has great solid tone and the B string sound useful great until 13th fret.
