If I'd bought a new bass and it had crap strings on it, I would fit DRs though.

So it's not the gauge so must be the set up.
I like daddario myself. I use pro steels because they work well for getting a clear low B string. If I was in standard E tuning I think I'd go back to nickel though just because I like the fatness
I want more bass from my, er, bass. It sounds a bit light at the moment so I reckon a combination of setup, strings and possibly pickup upgrade will get me there.
I like the Tool / Biffy / Muse bass sounds.

I really like them. They've got a smooth feel and have lasted ages.
Same for flatwounds. Rotos Monel flats are like solid bits of metal and TI flats are soft as a baby's arse.
Ive been trying the new EB Cobalt flats. Tension is higher than same size rounds but these are flats for people that like the sound of rounds. So they are bright and clear. Well worth a try.

I might even upgrade the pickups!
