A) can anyone advise me on string options for SR5 Piezo, and eventual Bongo5 Piezo ... I'm pretty stuck on nickel plated steel roundwounds, fretted & fretless and so far stick with stock ...
B) would tapercores like on the J5 work well with the SR5 Piezo & Bongo5 HSPiezo or does the Piezo bridge prefer conventional string windings over the saddles ...

[I have a light fingerstyle touch and I like to explore the sound, natural vibe feel and dynamic range of the instrument from whisper to fullon, probably more cellolike than rockbass, but also groove on old school] /Rayan
