Wow. What a simple yet effective upgrade. Very nice.

Yup, will hopefully find time to fit it over the weekend. I’ll need to make a decision on which strings to fit though.

Anything but the Warwick Reds 
I am liking the D’Addario NYXL’s a lot (but then again I love their EXL’s too).

Me too, they’re pretty much my default choice and they’re one of the available options. 
But I’ve a few other options here, just need to decide which to try first.
They’ll all get a try at some point!

Ooh, Rotosound, classic!
Haven’t tried them yet.

I like NYXLs too as my default for rounds, but put a set of regular XLs on my 6 string. Not fan of Ernie Ball, but no experience with Rotosound yet, have a set here to try sometime

What would be the main difference(s) between the EXL and the NYXL strings, in your opinion?

They feel and sound very, very similar. The difference I have noticed is the NYXL’s stay in tune to a remarkable degree over any other string I have tried.
The NYXL’s do take the smooth, frictionless nature of the EXL’s a little farther and feel slightly better, but definitely similar.

I so wanted to upgrade to brass but the price to Australia (over $400) is so prohibitive I’ll have to make do with my tudur one

Whaaaaaat?
Hell, I didn’t pay anything even close to that.
What size JAN do you need?

That was good old eBay.
Never thought about direct from Warwick.
Just priced it up and it’s $169 aud posted ! Better but postage is nearly as much as the nut (€48)

Another thing to try is to ask a guitar store of any decent size if they can order one for you.

Good thinking @howard 
It is unfortunately the joy of living down under at times. Dealing with Europe seems to be pricey, the USA not quite so bad.

They’re probably using a fully tracked and insured courier service.
I’m sure I could get one to you for less using regular mail.
I send much bigger & heavier packages to Adelaide for about €15 and have never had one go missing.

Thank you @HowlinDawg
I’ll certainly give you a shout at some point.
You’ve really got me looking at those beautiful wooden tuning peg ends at the moment 
I just may have to follow your lead with those

I have the RS66LD uncoated SS ones (orange packet) on my JJ Peavey.
Remember the Mazda advertising slogan “Zoom zoom!”?
Well, these are “Zing zing!”. They’re Geddy’s string of choice. I like them a lot, but then I haven’t really tried too great a variety. They are relatively cheap as well.

Just watched this last night and decided when the BB735 shows up they are going on it.
Might put them on the StingrayBFR in the meantime too. I turned my head away and only looked up when a tone really caught my ear. The SS version did every time.

Interesting… some time back you wrote that you prefer your bass thumpy over trebly. I’m pretty surprised that they caught your ear like that. That said, I agree that they have an amazing sound to them. Like I mentioned “Zing zing!” but with a definite, deep low end.

I do but I have enough of them now to have and want options based on what I am doing with them. The MM is for modern / slap, etc, so different, etc.
I am playing around in the more trebley area in general now for different things and liking it.
Go figure.
