Which Strings for Ibanez SR1305 (5 String)

[mstraus]

I want to try out some new strings, I have GHS Balanced Nickels on them now, I like them, the midrange really compliments the brightness of the Nordy's. but I find the B String to be really lackluster, floppy, farty, no definition. I'm curious what other people are using. One Issue I've had with this bass is that strings that have thick overwrap on the ball end don't always fit the single string bridge that these have.

I've used the Dunlop SuperBrights (nicks? SS?) because I had a ton of 'em. They're a good value provided they worked-out the QC issues. Currently strung w/ EB Cobalt Flats. If experimenting, I'd be leaning towards the DR nickel Low Riders in a 40-120 set...they're purportedly a bit stiff.
