Like i said i would like a deeper sound in my bass strings and a slightly less brightness in my higher stings. As of now i use D'arrio's light and have a relatively good guitar, around $1200, and would like to get some more definition from my bass stings (lowE,A,D,and maybe G)because i play with a lot of added bass notes.
thanks

Everyone has their preferences according to what they play and their own taste. I generally use D'Addario Phosphor Bronze Bluegrass Gauge (which is a hybrid-set with heavier wound-strings) for exactly the same reasons you have described above.
