They are SS, just use a pick with them!
I'll have to enter this territory you all call rounds then. With a pic?, got my work cut out for me.

Assume?, you didn't listen?. I'm calling in the boys, you can run, but you can't hide.
To the best of my recollection... they are the only band that I truly hate... and a solid 90% of it lies squarely on the shoulders of that thing they call a "singer".
Go right ahead. When they show up to do their "job"... I'll simply put on the Offspring, so I can welcome sweet sweet death with open arms.
They've already been highly trained. They just can't take Celine, or that other one, Schmikle something or other.
And now, a brief intermission for any lurkers here.

Oh, I so love the GP. But instead of popcorn, I offer this. Only 4 slices, first come, first serve.

It's unlocked, i've been expecting you.
And a slice for you my dear.
Speaking of killin it - I was just playing my FrankenGoth and by God, this thing really is killin' it!You guys are killin' it!
It's not my first choice for playing a solid bass line, that goes to the hard rockin Gold Anniversary bird, which is deeper and darker and bolder. And it's not my first choice for pic style playing, that goes to the VP with DR SS strings, which cuts through a mix like a Gost Busters Proton pack through butter. But by God that Goth has an extra special quality when it comes to solo, chord and harmonics work. Even with La Bella Black Tapes (no they're not wrapped in electric tape) it just plays with a degree of focus and clarity the others don't have, nearly baritone guitar like . If I had to sit down and write music or noodle out a bass line on a favorite song I'd use this bass.
It's so much fun to have choices and different tools that deliver unique and perfect results.

Ok, we all have different hands and that makes us all sound a bit different from each other. I get that and it’s awesome. But how many gear threads do we need to read some (not so) humble brag where someone states that their hands are so magical, they can get their exact ‘sound’ on any rig, anywhere and every time. I’ve heard a couple of those guys...their tone is lifeless and dull. No wonder it’s so easy!

A piezo pickup stuffed in each nostril, connected to in ear monitors! Then you're guaranteed to get the sound in your head, at least until your skull explodes from the never ending feedback loop.
Edit: looking for a volunteer from the GenPop to test this theory on.

I use nickel rounds (Balanced Tension D'Addario XL's) and they deliver for my playing style which is mostly using a pick (w/palm muting incorporated) and finger-style when required. I think I have NYXL's on my T-bird. (also nickel) GHS Progressives also are nice strings.
