I'm a bit of sting slut I guess. I have nylon wound Pyramids on The violin bass (The Hoff)(both for the tone and black against the red looks good), DR Black Beauties on the EX-4 (Dora)(cause black on copper looks good) , DR Black Beauties on the outside strings and Red Devils on my Epi (Toby)(like a redback), I'll use Steve Harris signarure Rotosound flats on both the Unicorn (Bomber) and Cliffenbacker (Precipice), and I'll use ghs Boomers on the Axe (Mean Gene). The price varies a fair bit.
