Advice wanted re Lightweight Strings

Hello.

I've always opted for heavier gauge strings in the past - but I'd like to have a go with some really light, twangy strings - out of curiosity as much as anything else (and because I've been trying to get better at double thumbing, which I find really hard with great fat, telegraph-pole strings!).

Can anyone recommend ones to go for? Ideally not too expensive for now, as I'm only trying this out for now. But if it works, I'll probably be happy to invest in better ones if it's going to make the difference...

Thanks for any advice/recommendations.

When I had a Jaydee & was playing a lot of slap I was using 30-90 superwounds. That's the gauge Mark King & Geddy Lee were using at the time & they are pretty twangy.
I don't think you can get Superwounds anymore but Elites do a 30-90 set.

LaBella do a Slappers set even lighter than that. You can get them on the internet from Stringbusters if you have trouble finding them - they'll probably be cheaper than anywhere else too.
