Currently I'm playing the Pbass with the band (I like to dedicate a month on and off to my two basses) and the rounds sound great with my overdrive of choice. The home recording stuff I dick around with I do almost exclusively on my Big Al though...the versatility comes in handy. The clip below was done with the Thomastiks.

What kind specifically do you use. I looked at a few of them online and MY GOD some of them are expensive! I'm sure they're good but 63 bucks for strings is a stretch for me.

Thanks guys, great info in this thread! I guess the flats will be put on th Grabber, I don't like the strings on it.. And the Elixirs I put on my P 3 or 4 years ago still play great!
