Hey folks; I'm very happy with the sound of Fender 7250-5M's on my active Jazz (45-125). I'm looking for a set with similar sound but higher tension. The ideal set should be:
  • Nickel-plated
  • Round-wound
  • 45-65-85-105-125/130 gauges
  • Sound like 7250's - deep enough with high mid / treble clarity, brightness, articulation
  • Higher tension
Any first-hand suggestions?

Of the two suggested, the Bassics are brighter with a nice crisp top end (not overly zingy) for clarity for the fact only the outer cover is nickel-plated steel with all stainless steel inner layers. I use the 40-102 set on one of my Fender J's and like them a lot.

GHS Boomers are actually stiffer in feel but their tonal character is darker than the Bassics.
