SS string with superior midrange

[Dugachug]

They're not Stainless Steel, But have you tried Ernie Ball Cobalts? Shedloads of Midrange imo, Used to love Stainless strings but Cobalts are now my go to string, definately worth a try

i'm gonna give the cobalts a chance. thanks for the recommendation.

Dean Markley SR2000s. Most mids I've ever experienced in a string. Not a bad player, either.

I bought my first set of DR Lo-Rider SS because they are advertised as hot in the mids.
The intent was to counterbalance the scooped sound of my SR5HH.
They sound "new" but not any different than the factory EBMM slinky that came with the bass.

The last time I tried one of those Bronco amps, I was seriously disappointed by the major lack of midrange. Are you allergic to nickel? If not, you could try a hybrid or alloy set like Circle K's or the Ernie Balls mentioned earlier. I run Circle K's on my 4 string, they have all the snap, shimmer, and detail of SS with the warm midrange of nickels. They are a little lower tension than some other brands, tho.

Dunlop Steels have a very full mid range. I have a nickel allergy and find Dunlop Steels to be closest in tone to nickel strings.

Roto 66s

Another vote for Rotosound 66 - if you're able to get the nickel-plated variant then so much the better! The stainlesses are excellent anyway, but the nickels have a slightly more rounded tone, and (I'm told) are easier on the fingertips.

Rounded relative to Rotosound, anyway - there's still no shortage of midrange honk and growl!

Yet another vote here for the Rotosound 66.

My favourite steelwounds are the Warwick Red Labels. They feel pretty rough and kill your frets but they sound absolutely insane.
