I’m thinking of dipping a toe into EUB

 

What strings do they use?

In my experience it depends on the EUB and the scale length. From recollection my Stagg used full sized strings as did my KK Baby Bass. My NS NXT uses custom NS strings but can take regular length strings by wrapping them around the back of the bass. Shorter scale EUBs such as the Dean Pace and Ibanez UB804/805 use regular electric bass strings.

I played the ass off a Stagg and never felt any need for new strings. If you were bowing one you might.

My experience is not exhaustive. But I had an NS which was beautiful. But it sounded a bit fretless-y with original NS strings. I loaded it up with proper DB strings, raised the action and, voila, there was the DB-alike tone.
