A local music shop was getting rid of these so I picked up a few sets on the cheap. I had forgotten what great strings these are, very well balanced.

What? No more GHS Bassics?? WTH!

Did you read thru the whole thread? GHS decided to reverse their decision to discontinue the Bassics based on customer feedback.
I don't do nickel but I'm still glad they came to Thier senses with those. We need the variety. I'd really like to see GHS put out another stainless steel round wound too. I know it would eat into the super steel sales but something like a stainless steel round core boomer would probably be a hit with guys like me that like DR Fat Beams and the like.
What I would love to see is the "rollerwound" version of the Super Steels, ie stainless steel pressurewound.
I'm based in Winnipeg so the selection for bass strings is rather limited locally.
I ordered 6 sets of the Bassics 40-102 from Fret Nation (based in California) earlier this year, and Jason there was very helpful in putting together a package deal. Even after the USD -CAD exchange and the shipping cost, it turned out to be cheaper than ordering them thru Long & McQuade.
