Not much help on the Dingwall forum either. I notice there are some Payson ground wounds available, but the choice of gauges is very curious as the string tensions will be all over the place.

We adjust and fine tune the Payson Fanned sets to be balanced in tension and tone for the Dingwall 37"-34" scale. They are customized for the Multi-Scale basses. Don't let the gauge numbers scare you off.

I've never boiled a set of strings before as I generally use coated strings but I'm contemplating trying it with an old set of Payson strings I have but they have a plastic ball end (is that what that bits called?)

Just wondering if this would cause an issue...I don't really want melted plastic in my pots.

You've got the ball end nomenclature correct, but my ball ends are Stainless Steel.

Dave Swift is using at the moment the standard Super J set of strings on the B, E & A, and using DR sunbeams (45 & 65) on the D & G and this is working out extremely well so far for him. He likes the clarity, precision & bite from the stainless Steels on the lower strings, and in turn likes the softness in feel, the smoother sound and thicker gauge (at least from the D string) of the DR Sunbeams.

If I owned a Super P I would try .130 .105 .90 .70 .50 all non tapered nickel.

Some interesting uneducated reply's on the looks of the bass. I would say you need to play one before you judge it.
