I’ll check out the shadowsky. Thanks.
And I had considered using low rider nickels on the top for strings and stainless just for the lo B

The brightest strings i can think of are Hi beams, dean Markley SR2000, Diadarrio pro steels, dunlop super brights. If you only want to swap b strings I'm going to say that hi beams or pro steels would be good choices. If you wanted to do the whole set then any of those would be bright and a good option. ALSO, since you're playing on nickel id try a dr fat beam b string. It'll be bright enough to be comparable to fresh nickle plated steel but it shouldn't be as mellow. Try fat beams first and then if you don't like it stainless lo riders. I assumed you were on steels already so i mentioned all those others.

Try Fat Beams. That's what I've settled into after trying many many strings. Hi Beams may be too bright but also worth a go.
Another set to try if you like a higher tensioned string would be Marcus Miller's Dunlop Super Brights. These aren't as rigid as Lo Riders but are more rigid than Fats or Hi Beams.
Hmmm... Look like a great idea too. But dint know any tonal different while broken in. Still worth to experience.
