Whats your favorite set of strings for bass? I've been hopping around all over, haven't really found any that i really care for.

for some reason i have stuck with the black labels that came on my warwick. dont know why, just havent thought the sound needed improving...i think as long as the strings are decent, a players ability can overcome so-so strings
and they last forever so thats what i use.

I love the D'Addario XP's that came on ms Flea. Very nice to the touch and great tone.

this is true. its sooo cool playin with them(especially on a fretless). but i dont get them to play regularly becuase im afriad my callouses will become weaker along with the softer tone.

What strings are we favoring nowadays? I'm in the mood for some new ones.... i kinda wanna try Dean Markley but i'm not sure what type... I'm gonna go for light gauge this time around though.
