Roundwounds with HUGE low end.

[human66]

I'm really liking the Ernie ball cobalts. I use the 55-110 gauge, they're a little bright for my tastes at first, but once you give em a bit to break in, they're pretty darn great.

I would definitely check out La Bella Deep Talkin' round wounds. Tons of low end and an amazing, balanced tone all around. Be careful while stringing, however. They've been known to break, though it's never happened to me. Knock on wood.

Ditto for LaBella DTB Roundwounds... My string of choice for deep bass and balanced tone. The Stainless (formerly Hard Rockin' Steel) have a punchier midrange closer to Rotos but still with BIG BOTTOM... (talkin' bout mudflaps, my girl's got 'em!)

They're like the everything louder than everything else string.

So you are saying Roto 66s go to eleven?

They're the string that if they moved in next to you, your lawn would die.

is that Roto 66s in steel or nickel? mine are the Roto nickels and they are amazing and i believe go to 11...

GHS Boomers are real good for that

+1, though I'm currently experimenting with sunbeams. In any case go nickel over steel for better low end (actually less high zing.)

Oh, fantastic. I don't have to suggest and then defend Boomers. I've been using them continually for 25 years with brief tryouts of other stuff. I don't think there is a better-sounding round and the slicker feel of them is a lot more comfortable than most.
