Pyramids on a 4003?

So I splurged and bought a set of Pyramid bass strings. Right now i'm playing a stock 4003, though I am thinking of adding one of the Vintage Reissue 4001's to my arsenal.
My question is, do Pyramids sound better with vintage pickups then hi-gains? I assume they were designed to work with older basses, so i'm just thinking that they might not be as good on a 4003.
Does anyone here use Pyramids with a stock 4003?

Many of us do, they sound great on 4003's. I have two new 4003's with them and a new 4003FL that's going to come with them installed.

I have 'em on an '80 4003 with hi-gains and an '84 4001S with toaster/horseshoe. Sound great on both.

Another vote here for pyramids on my '04 4003. Great sound.

I've had Pyramids on my 4003S from the time I bought it, and I wouldn't use anything else.

TI flats are nice for old 4001's, sound very much like the original equipment strings that came on them to me.

TI flats on my 68 4001 because thats what it came with. Had never used them before. Love em! Pyramids on my '64 P Bass and Hofner and love them as well! You can't go wrong with either.
