Default Big Baby Strings

I need to change the strings on my Big Baby for the first time (just bought it). Looking for suggestions from what you found you like on your Big Baby.

Warmer is always nice.

This way I can narrow it down to a few types to start with.

I use D'Addario phosphor bronze on my Big Baby. They are, of course, not as bright as the Elixirs that the factory installs.

Weekend bump. I know that half of the posters here have Big Baby's - so how about a little love?

What strings have you put onto your Big Baby and enjoyed the sound?

Steve,

I just re-strung both my Baby and Big Baby with the D'Addario PB lights. Great strings for these guitars. They are bright to begin with, so the PB's sound really good on them.

Elixir nanoweb lights work just fine, especially if it's a guitar that you don't play a lot.
