Strings for my B1

[woodenshirt]

I've got a Martin B1 acoustic bass that urgently needs a change of strings (they are as dead as a wotsit).

They can be no heavier than medium gauge (according to the info on the inside of the soundhole).

Any ideas on the best strings to use and where to get them from?

Thanks,

Mart.

Hi Mart,

I am in exactly the same situation.

If you find some that are not too heavy let me know, as the flatwounds on it when I got mine were distorting the top due to too much tension.
