String recommendation

Just got back into bass after many years off.looking for string recommendations.I like old school hard rock and metal sound.low but not muddy with good midrange.playing on Ibanez sr thru combo amp with 15"speaker.
 
Welcome back to playing! Been there, done that myself. A good starting place considering what you said might be GHS Boomers. You can find them reasonably priced most places and you aren't out much if you don't like them. But in the end you will likely have to try a few sets to see what sounds good to your ears and through your gear. Which is part of the fun, so enjoy the journey! Cabs make a massive difference in how strings come across. Often when getting a new cab I've have to search for a new favorite string. People may get a great tone for them through what they are playing through and forget it won't sound the same with an entirely different set up.
