I have Dunlop nickles 45-125 on my TBC and I was using the same on my Godin, but I have recently switched the Godin chromes.

I have Dean Markely SR2000s on the MTD KZX.

Chromes on my passive MTD.

Putting Silver Rumblers on the U-Bass when they get here this later this week.

They are medium gauge  ;D.

I still rock Dunlops on my 5's.  Tried a set of SIT's on the 55-02, but I dont really dig them, so I'll drop some Dunlops on when I get a chance.  I got D 'addarios on the Roscoe six string.

D'Addario XL Brights Regular Light Gauge .045-.100 on both my 4's and 5's. Thinking of switching to something less bright. And something less midrangy for my 5 string. Maybe DR's.

Dragon skins on the JV24.. I like them better than ther Fats or the His or the Los.. and I forget the struings on the Schecter.. They are gold though.. and for the life of e I cannot remember the name to save my soul.. Elixers on the 73 Jazz .... My acoustic 5 fretless has a set of D'Addario half rounds .. I wanted to try them because it is a fretless bass.. I forgot what's on my other basses because I rarely play them.. the main bass I play is the JV24 and after that the Schecter..

DR Black Beauties:
G: .045. D: .065.  A: .085. E: .105. B: .125 (obviously the B is only on my 5-stringers)
  • Alembic Series II 5-string
  • Roscoe LG-3005 fretless 5-string
  • Music Man Sabre (x2)

Ken Smith Compressors:
G: .044. D: .062. A: .080. E: .102
  • Alembic Series I

D'Addario EXL170-5:
G: .045. D: .065. A: .080. E: .100. B: .130
  • Marchlewski 5-string

Usually I use DR Marcus Miller Fat Beams on the Marchlewski bass, but I'm experimenting.  Also just changed one of the Sabres  from MM Fat Beams to Black Beauties.  Mainly because I was out of Fat Beams and didn't feel like driving to Guitar Center.  I like to have the two Sabres sound a little different from each other.  The Black Beauties are more mid rangy, the Fat Beams more trebly and hot.
