I love Slinkys but I have just grown to love the tapered B string. I really wish EB would come out with a tapered B 5 string set.

I have been told that the ebmm bridge does not do well with tapered strings.

I have used tapered strings (out of necessity, I was out of Slinkys and the B broke) and there isn't a problem with the EBMM bridge.
Tapered strings are a problem all to themselves, though. That is what I think, anyway.
 
Well if for whatever reason Dargin himself says EB bridges dont like em, Ill take his word for it. Im curious as to the reason, though.

Hmm, that is strange, isn't it? Wonder if Scott'd be so kind as to tell us about it?
Personally, I can't see any reason why EB bridges would function less than perfect with tapered strings?
