As per the title, i liked the sound of these string, they really have a "growl" that i enjoy. However, it took around a week before i started seeing the first signs of rust and corrosion on the strings. Now, a month later, they look almost entirely rusted.
That said, they still don't sound dead. They still have a bit more life in them that might seem at a glance, somehow.
The rusting might have been exacerbated by very humid weather in my region recently, but i also installed normal nickel coated strings on another bass at the same time as these (different brand) and those string are still in very good condition with no sign of rusting.
Pros:
- nice aggressive "growly" sound
- still sound ok even after rusting
Cons:
- rusted super quickly
