Well, i have just thrown caution to the wind and bought a new MV5....lovely bass, but i have to say, i,m not very happy with
the supplied strings...i think they are 45-130, very stiff feel to them, also the B string suffers from overtones which are annoying
to say the least..the B string is the type where the thinner core passes over the bridge saddle.
So with this in mind, what strings work well with said bass, also i tend to favour nickel.
