Elixir 14677 Stainless Steel L/M Bass

I haven't used Elixir for many years, and I was again impressed by the sound of the strings, which remains well sounding for months, as long as you clean the strings with proper string cleaning products.
However, the low E-string broke after only a couple of weeks, and when I thought about it I haven't broken a string for many years, since actually I was using Elixir (also the low E-string that time). Maybe a coincidence, but in my thought it points to weak build quality.
So, good sound but use with a bit of extra care

I am undecided on these strings. Usually I use DR steel ones, but on peer pressure I finally tried Elixir again (last time was more than 15 years ago).

The quality of these strings is excellent really, it is the sound that somehow is like... like nothing. No character really. If you're okay with that, go for it. I like my strings to have character.

I bought this set of strings a loooong time ago, because I was searching for a set of stainless strings for bass that would last for some time.
Well, let me just tell you that I kept those strings for years, I don't even remember how many now, and they still had that twangy, bright metallic tone to them....even too much if I can say! I replaced those only because I wanted my bass to sound completely different at some point. Pricey but if they are your thing...they will last!
