Each string has its own feel... The compressors are really easy on your fingers if you do alot of sliding etc... they have a little bit of a smoother feel to them...

Definatly the Stainless Steel strings have a brighter sound.. FOund on Ken Smiths Rock Masters, Slap Masters string sets...

PERSONALLY I feel the brighter before amplification... The more you can work with the sound... With a brighter sound, it is easier to roll off some treble or add some bass then to add brightness to a sound...

I used to play on the compressor's all the time when I was doing alot of "Jazz" style playing... They gave my bass a really punchy sound... I think I have compressors on my Fender Jazz at the moment...

The main strings I use are Rock Masters on my Frettless BSR6EG or Slap Masters on my BMT6EG
