I use Ernie Ball "Not Even Slinky" (.012-.016-.024p-.032-.044-.056) custom gauge nickel wound strings. I like them as I play in D# tuning and because they feel more like acoustic strings, which I like because I started out on an acoustic guitar. They also have more bass and won't break as easy when I play live.

I recently used to use Ernie Ball "Regular Slinky" (.010-.013-.017-.026-.036-.046) custom gauge nickel wound strings, but they don't work well with D# or really any kind of lower tunings.

Whatever is on sale really, I'm not too picky about strings. I do like BOOMERS 105's though.

Have you ever tried to buy Acoustic Bass Strings? What a pain in the ass.

For my electric I buy .10 DR strings. Only string on the market that doesn't have a hex-core rod for a center. For my acoustic I use .11 Elixir poly-web or nano-web strings.
