Currently 66s. Great match.
But have had TIs on it for a number of years. Also a good, but different option.
Fender Flats were on it in the pic. they were not bad either.
I find that bass pretty forgiving in terms of strings. Some basses seem really picky.
That's just cool. Is that bass thicker than most, or does it just look that way in the pic?WBW

You're correct, it is thicker, as I recall it's a solid piece of Mahogany so it's not heavy at all, the knock off J neck is really quite nice, it plays like a dream.

TI's? Flats? Really digging the three point as well...
Yes sir. Had them on it first as I recall. But I like flats on some things. Likely not for everyone.

Chromes are fine on my Pbass. I've tried a few on Thunderbirds over the years. Not my thing.
He lived a somewhat tormented life. As many geniuses do. Can't underestimate the effect he had on recording and production. As I said somewhere else, he was a decent bassist who had the good sense to hire Carol Kaye to play on many of the recordings. He brought joy to millions.

Congratulations on your incipient freedom from working for the man! I'm beginning to have thoughts of throwing it in. Not enough to actually do it, but it's leaking in a little.
I was a total fan in my tweens/early teen years.
