    what kind of strings are you all using out there when you are looking for a deep, warm, punchy sound?

    My response to your title, stop by Denver ill punch you anytime!
    Stringswise ill say Ernie balls never did me wrong for that good ol punchy sound and once they go dead they keep the punch without the zing

    GHS Precision Flats for the knockout punch of a heavyweight prizefighter.

    The first three adjectives that come to my mind for describing flatwounds are deep, warm and punchy. Any flats really.

    so I think, by popular suggestion I'm going to get a pit of GHS precision flatwounds, and a pair of DR fatbeams. I'll post some opinions here later on what I think!

    Those are certainly polar opposites! You will probably like them both and need two basses. I do.

    Deepest, punchiest by far of available strings are Labella DTF. The previous versions of Fender flats (no longer made) were the leaders. But Labella flats now beats all currently manufactured flats, with the punchiest gut busting slam you can buy.
