Hey, I'm sure this (or similar) question has come up and been answered before, but I wasn't able to access links in the FAQ/sticky - looks like we have new forum software since my last visit; maybe that's why. Anyhoo, I'm interested in exploring options for a roundwound, stainless set in this configuration:
B: Taper-core 135 (130 would work, even 125 if there's a lot of praise for the set)
E = 105, A = 85, D = 65, G = 45
These are the specs for the MTD "custom medium" 5 string set I use on my 535. I don't think the MTD strings are quite right for my J-style bass - Sadowsky Metro UV5 - and I wonder what else is out there. I'm currently using DR Fat Beams on the Sadowsky and love everything but the B string.
DR's website doesn't indicate if they even make taper core B's, but they do show an option for a 135 B sold singly. If they are taper-core I could pick up some of these and try pairing them with Fat Beams, Hi-Beams, etc. All suggestions welcome!
