Great tone and durability. Not as smooth as I expected, the coating is thin enough to still feel the bumps of the coils.

    • Bright and zingy with a softer feel...
Style: Long Scale Size: Regular Light, 45-100
OK, so I have been playing bass since 1985 (yeah, I get it - I'm old). I have tried just about every string type and manufacturer you can imagine in that time. I have played hundreds and hundreds of gigs. I have developed some very particular likes and dislikes where equipment is concerned. In recent years, I have pretty consistently played D'Addario nickel bass strings. They sound great, tend to last a long time, resist breakage, stay in tune, and are very affordable. I have generally resisted using coated strings, concerned that the coating(s) might dull the tone unacceptably right out of the package. I need not have worried in this case. This set has the bright, zingy tone consistent with nickel strings - if the coating dulled the brilliance, it wasn't enough to detect. I can attest that the feel of these strings is a little different from conventional roundwounds - they feel "softer" - less abrasive on your fingers. They manage to do this without sacrificing texture in a way that would reduce your grip on the strings for pull-offs or tapping. I installed these on my 1986 Yamaha BB300 bass - as is typical of D'Addario strings in general, these tune up to pitch and stay there (it's not unusual for me to open my bass case after a few weeks of playing a different bass only to find that it's still very much in tune - this is true even with a Hipshot D-tuner on the low E string). These strings are holding pitch in the same way - after they fully seat and stretch out, the tuning is rock-solid. Uncoated D'Addario strings last for months under normal playing, so I anticipate these will go a much longer time. Realistically, there are two major factors in string longevity - filth and physical damage/changes. The second factor is what it is, and there isn't much that can be done about it - strings stretch out, windings flatten against frets, the string's core stretches and thins in odd ways. This all affects tuning, harmonics, and sustain adversely. The first factor, dirt/skin oils/etc., is something the coating is designed to combat. WAY back in the day, we would remove our strings and boil them briefly to "cook" the dirt and oils out of the windings, then reinstall them to get another couple of weeks of brighter tone. The coating on these strings should reduce the buildup of oils and dirt in the windings, helping the string stay brighter longer - no boiling required. All in all - these are a fantastic choice for both working and casual players - for the working bassist, these will last longer under regular gigging; for the casual player, these will stay fresher in the case longer even if you're not playing often. If there is a downside to these strings, I can't find it. Highly recommend. ... show more
