I have a set of Elixirs that came on my Tacoma Thunderchief that were pretty dirty but still sound amazing and newish. The coating is just now starting to show fray a tiny bit in one spot. They aren't cheap but if I buy bronzewounds that's what I'm getting. Ernie Ball, DR, and D'Addario all make bronzewounds. Most ABGs probably come strung with D'Addarios.

I always buy Ernie Balls and I love them. The last set I got someone else bought for me and got the D'Addarios, and they have held up pretty well and sound pretty good. But I think the Ernie Balls sound better even on my crappy Rogue.

Thomastic acousticores. They last forever and don't have the clanky sound that most phosphor bronze strings have. The set I have on my Taylor AB2 have been on for probably 3 years and I play at least one gig a week with it. It is a rare night that I don't get a compliment on my tone.

Thomastik-Infeld Acousticore strings were on the Turner Renaissance I tried. They are very flexible, and very responsive to touch. But, they felt like they were trying to wriggle out from beneath the fingers of my fretting hand like little worms; TI Jazzflats seem stiff in comparison.

To my ears, Acousticores sound more like oversize acoustic guitar strings than bass strings; not a judgement, just an observation.

I replaced the phosphor bronze rounds that were original equipment on my ABG with LaBella tape-wounds to add bottom and warmth, and attenuate upper-mids. So far, so good; I'll try TI flats if the LaBellas come up short.

FWIW, using a rubber sound hole plug has been necessary to fight feedback when amplified.
