Serious bite

Patrick M 24.02.2015

These strings have some serious bite-perfect for rock/metal applications. Probably not your first port of call for soft jazz, however. They respond well and play nicely, and after breaking in they're good enough for slap. They lose their character when their life is up though, and that life isn't particularly the longest going.

If you're looking to find 'your strings', definitely give these a go, though don't expect fully versatile strings that last weeks.

Rough feeling but nice sound

Vorath 07.07.2022

The feel under the fingers is rougher that nickel plated strings, so maybe if you like sliding a lot, be a bit careful. Adding this to the medium gauges in this pack, it means that they can be quite hard to play in standard tuning (34" scale). I have used them mostly in D and D# standard tunings and they were much easier to play.

That said, the sound is nice and bright and are lasting quite a long time (had them on exactly a year since i bought them and am still enjoying them), but as usual your mileage may vary, depending on how much you play and many more variables.

Overall I am very satisfied and will most likely keep buying them.
