cool i am thyinking of trying some d'addario strings as i played my friends bass at the weekend and it was strung with them and i really liked them they have good tension his bass is not alembic though so i look forward to how they sound on jazzmine

i tried a set of DR Lowriders on my Epic and they have been the best so far...I'm hesitant to try Rotosounds because I've heard they wreck the frets.  I'd like to thank all that replied.  Your responses were of great help.  Still wish I could post a picture of my Epic.  I will as soon as I figure out how.
