What if you put acoustic bass strings on an electric bass? The idea just came to me right now as I was practicing arpeggios. It might sound dumb, but hey?

 

put em on and tell us:D

Acoustic (upright) strings are very expensive, too long, and they may or may not have ball ends. Gut URB strings won't work at all on an electric with magnetic pickups.

 

Try some flatwound strings made for electric bass.

as long as they arent nylon they would sound about the same as electric Bass strings

I think he's thinking the brass strings used on acoustic electric basses, not for URBs.
