Great optic, but limitations on sound

Rene aus L. 13.02.2014

First of all , I bought these strings only because of the bright color. I love the green and it shows on my black bass very well !
What based on the color is really awesome that they are UV-active and with black light shine literally in the dark!
The color holds well, even if you play with a pick. At the frets went after about 2 weeks the color on the bottom off , but you'd never see. Also the surface of the strings was brighter. Maybe by the sweat of your fingers. It now looks after almost 2 months , which frets to play often .
The sound is fine. The A-string is a bit weak in the deep frets , and I can say here is that it definitely is not on bass, since I do not have the problem with other strings. Maybe it is because of the alloy , the sound is felt somewhat weaker.
The feel is a little strange in the beginning , because the surface is relatively rough . Feels like an old eraser :)
Conclusion: look: awesome! Sound and feel: well!

My next strings would be the DR Lorider.

bright and wonderful

These are just as you guessed, green and neon!

Iv been using these strings for well over 2 years now and they are great for a few reasons.

Lets forget the great feature that they are coloured, but the coating on these strings means they last for a long time without getting dirty or grubby.
The tone is also great, they may not have so much 'twang' to them as other new strings, but that wasnt what i was after.

Smooth sounding strings is what these offer. O and BRIGHT GREEN GLOW in most lights. (even more with white or blue LED lights)

Neon Green

I purchased these strings on a whim for an old jazz bass. The sound is great, half way between flatwound and roundwound.

At first I was not sure about the feel of the strings but they have grown on me.

These strings have quite a high tension, I usually use daddario EXL170's, but noticed the action was a lot higher with these strings on. However after setting the bass up correctly the strings were great, I would consider using these in future.

Great for Show, but...

If you want strings that look cool, these are the ones you want to buy. If you want strings that last a long time and keep their sound for more than a week or two, look elsewhere.
