Greeting from Texas! I don't know why, but I'm in some sort of 'make my basses like factory' mode. What gauge strings are put on these things at the factory? I know some basses (Ric, etc) recommend certain gauge.

Thanks!
 
The 4-string basses are all equipped with Ernie Ball Super Slinky Bass strings, catalog number #2834, when they leave the factory. The gauges are 45-65-80-100
