Coming up for a string change on Orion 4.  For more years than I care to remember I have used Elites Stainless 40 - 100 happily.  Just testing the water and other opinions as out of touch with what is about.  Requirements are 40 - 100 (fingers getting older and one weaker after a finger break years ago)and not nickel (skin alergy).  Playing fingerstyle, boogie,jazz,country,pop not slap and hardly any soloing stuff. Genz Streamliner 900 and Berg cabs.  All thoughts welcome.  Glynn

Hello Glynn,
 
  I have been using Dean Markley 2670  XL 40-95 Blue Steel  strings for my round wounds for quite a long time. I enjoy the fact that they age very gracefully from an aspect of intonation.  I like them better then some others that I have tried. They also work fine with the Alembic medium scale  bass's .  I play finger style as well in an eclectic variety of styles.

I like DR  Fatbeams and their lite set is 40 - 100
