I, and many of my associates, always have Mapes shrafe the bass strings.  We
notice a definite improvement in the overall results from that option.

For those that have never heard of the term,  Shrafing refers to the process
of running rough sand paper across the surface of the core wire just prior
to winding on the copper.  It seems to improve the contact between the
copper and the core wire.
