Correction, correction, correction. When YOU buy that EXACT same Bass from him, you will know more about how which strings sounds like what, maybe. But you need HIS Bow and hands and brain as well to sound exactly like it as well.. Temperature and humidity of that day in that place plays a part in how the bass sounded as well.

As far as any of this being helpful in choosing a string for another bass, yours or someone else's, it is of little help.

What shoes was he wearing that day? Maybe what he ate for breakfast or dinner the night before helped him to play as he did on that recording. Maybe the mixing engineer would have been able to make it sound exactly the same with OFCs on his Bass as well. Maybe the speakers you listened to it with have something to do with it as well.

lol.. for real..
