So Basically... ITs that time of the month.. I need new strings on my Squier J Bass, Using a heavy gauge atm, Would quite like some Very Light flat-wounds.. there is a slight problem tho..

My local music shop doesn't have a great deal of choice with strings...

So my question to you!

Best sounding brand of Light Flat-wound strings to you?
 
GHS Precision Flats. Gauges .45-.95http://www.juststrings.com/ghselectricbassguitarprecisionflatwound.html

They sit on three of my basses. Long lasting, smooth, stay in tune, old school tone. The light gauge strings are not to wearing on the hands (especially if yours are weak and small as mine). Plenty of lowend despite the light gauge. They do make a .45-.105 and .55-.105 if you decide to go with mediums.
