Different "strokes" indeed!

While I can't say I've been unhappy with the strings I've tried, I guess I wouldn't mind trying something completely different to see how the bass reacts and how the strings work with my technique.

One thing that is appealing is that I am most likely switching to fifths tuning in the next month, and they manufacture a set for this tuning which is supposed to be balanced across the strings. This seems good compared to "mixing and matching" to come up with a reasonable set. My only hesitation at this point is the fact that most players using synthetic strings like Dominant or Obligato seem to like a steel string for a low B/C as it speaks better, but I'm wondering if Velvet has done things correctly with their set.
