Great looking bass, good price and its probably impossible to go wrong with Yamaha.

I always went with bright rounds so I am probably not your best answer here 
Yes, IIRC.

Iāve got rounds on my BB435 which Iāll be replacing this weekend with a set of stainless rounds, still the stock rounds on my BB734, and GHS pressurewounds on my BB300. Iām betting you meant TRBXs though.

I did mean TRBX. Iāve only bought used (not new) basses before and never even had to change strings yet. But, I think experimenting is in order.

I was buying new strings for one of my basses every 2 weeks for most of last summer, just trying to get a good sense of what my tastes are. I got real good at changing them out. After that, @howard talked me into leaving the rounds on my 734 when I got that, and it turns out I donāt hate rounds like I thought. I just donāt like cheap rounds.

Yes, I do think the new rounds will mellow out after a bit. I have always liked Dāaddario for guitar, but not yet found my way with bass strings. Looking forward to the experimentation. Thanks.

I got my BB434 with DR HI-BEAM, round stainless, medium (45-105). Iām getting used to the stainless, but I donāt love the feel on my fingers and have a set of NYXL, same gauges, to swap to.

Iāve got a set of Stringjoy Stainless to throw on my 435 next time they need a string change. Theyāll be my first stainless rounds, weāll see how that goes. I think Iām going to put a set of SITās Iāve got sitting around on my 734 this weekend. I havenāt been fond of the stock ones the last week or two.
How would rotosounds do on them?
Bright rounds do great. Never used RotoSounds myself.

DR Nickel Lo Riders 45-100
Tried prosteels and hated them. My E string sounded like a piano 
Thanks. I will check them out.
