String Recommendations?

[tunafishwilliams]

I recently started jamming with some buddies of mine as they couldn't find a reliable bassist (I'm primarily a guitarist). They're tuned down to Drop F and I need to get my bass set up before I start jamming. Unfortunately, this is the extent of my knowledge.

I'm not really sure where to start looking, though I've heard great things about Circle K strings for low tunings.

I'll be playing a Spector Legend 5 string bass with a 35" scale. Any help is greatly appreciated!

Were it me, and assuming F0, I would go with a Kalium .182 or .190 for the low string.

Like this set:

.182 5 String 34 to 35 Scale Length Drop Tune

Yup - definitely .190 drop tune set in my opinion

Kalium strings are amazing!

Throwing in my recommendation for Kalium as well. I tune to drop A on a 35" and they are the best i've ever used. I'd agree with the .182 drop tuned set.
