Strings for Pino Fretless - looking for more low end

[SteveCS]

Roto 66s on my P bass. Turns out I really like steel rounds on that bass.

Give it a few days then decide - '66 are stupid bright for the first few hours then drop off really fast, especially the fat ones. If after that you want bright steel rounds that last a lot longer, try d'Addario ProSteel...

idk. it's a signature bass. I'd just use the strings it's designed with.

Pino himself was never known to use EB Slinkies on his fretless Stingray, and certainly not on any of the big records he is known for with that bass (he mostly used Rotosound 66 rounds IIRC). They just put Slinkies on the sig bass because they are roundwounds made in house.

I’m actually tempted to put a set of Roto 66s on it, I am loving them on my P bass. Going to try some others first, though.

Oh…. are TIJFs okay for string-through-body?

Apparently they’re fine on string-through Mustangs. My favourite strings on everything.

Yeah, did a little research last night and it seems like they're one of the few flats that are a-ok for stb applications.

I dig the stock rounds on my Pino fretless Stingray, but I'd like to find a string with a similar feel but with more low end. Any suggestions?

Stockers are custom gauge EB Slinkys for reference.

Thanks!

Maybe next size bigger?
