Yup, that's the gauge I use as well.

I'm going to add a "me too" on the Circle K's. Just feels more comfortable for me to play. But like anything else, you just have to try them. One bassist's passion is anothers' poison.

I second JPS, the TI Rounds are very nice, also I like but dont have them on any of my rics but my Music Man, Erinie ball extra super slinkys..
