What Strings Do You Use?

One string on every Fender/Squier bass I have owned...

Love 'em. Medium-high tension, great feel, classic tone, not too expensive, and they last forever.

I have also tried Rotosound 77's and liked them. They definitely are an acquired taste, though. Relatively bright flatwounds with high tension and a rough, almost roundwound feel. If you could call any strings "manly" the Rotos are definitely it.
