Wich strings for regular gauge but more rigid?

[maturanesa]

Looking for a set of rounds or/and flats that having the same tension as normal 45/40 are more rigid in order to play at neck pickup or P without feeling and sounding floppy/raspy/not in tune.

thanx!

For nickel-plated steel rounds...

GHS Boomers (hex core) 45-105.
DR Nickel Lo-Riders 45-105.

For stainless steel rounds...

DR DDT 45-105.
DR SS Lo-Riders 45-105.

For flats...

Rotosound Jazz 77 45-105.
La Bella 760FS (45-105).

Hex core rounds; I use EBMM Cobalt Flats for a Roundish sounding flat but most flats should have what you want sans TI.

Low Riders are the only ones I have experience with in that category. I really like the slight tension and bounce.

Any idea how do the DR Nickel Lo-Riders 45-105 compare to the Fender 7150 and 7250 45-105 in terms of tension and tone? Thanks.

I would put NLR 45-105 somewhere in between 7250 45-105 and 7150 45-105.
