Dull G-string but perfect service!

Wanted to try something different. Well these are.
Coated black nickels. Not as bright as steels, but should be brighter then regular coated nickels. Well. that's about right I think.

The G-string was DOA and I contacted Thomann. Without any further ado they sent me a replacement which is a lot better sounding then the first string I received. Perfect service. The G-string still doesn't have the 'singing'-tone like the other strings do have.

I am playing in C# tuning and these string are perfect for that. Interesting note is, that when you are playing on a bass with single-coils you will have more ground-hum. It looks like the coating dus not connect you to ground when you touch the strings. If you play through a DI or Wireless this isn't an issue.

Can't say anything about reliability and durability (yet).

Tapered - not for everyone

Great looking strings. Seem to sound good too (have not played them enough). Unfortunately I had not realized they had tapered ends: a lot of buzzing as action is now too low on the bridge end. I don't want to mess up my saddles and action so I am reverting back to my usual strings brand. A pity.

These can't be coated

Bought this for a project "monochrome" bass, yes I am being a tart..., anyway, I didn't expect them to sound as great as they do! So impressed with the tone on these bad boys, I'll be buying DR coated strings for all my basses now I think

Bleiben frisch solange sie halten...

Ich habe vor einiger Zeit (schon über 2 Jahre her) angefangen, nach neuen Saiten für mich zu suchen. Als sehr aktiver Live-Musiker und Student bin ich oft knapp bei Kasse und kann mir dementsprechend nicht ständig neue Saiten kaufen. Ich wollte also beschichtete Saiten ausprobieren, da diese länger halten sollen und diese kamen mir gelegen, da die Saiten an der Stelle, an der sie auf der Brücke aufliegen dünner gewickelt sind und zwar bis weit in die Saite hinein, was für String-Thru-Instrumente wie meinen LTD Viper wichtig ist.

Die Saiten klingen wirklich großartig und das tun sie auch länger als herkömmliche Saiten, allerdings sind mir 3 Sätze recht schnell hintereinander gerissen (natürlich nicht alle auf einmal sondern immer einzelne Saiten). Ich habe meine Saitenreiter auf Grate überprüft und sie zur Sicherheit professionell nachfeilen lassen - das gleiche Spielchen wieder: Gerissene Saiten ohne Ende, immer unterschiedliche. Ich bin mittlerweile auf andere Saiten umgestiegen.

Der Sound eignet sich meiner Meinung nach bestens für Heavy-Stilistiken, besonders mit Pick gespielt, denn er ist sehr Attack-betont. Ich denke auch Funk-Bassisten könnten ihren Spaß damit haben.
