Any comments on these strings from actual users would be appreciated. How do they compare to other coated strings? And are they black? :idea:

 

Thanks.

I tried a 45-105 set on my JBass and they looked cool (yeah, they are black) but the high end on those was nonexistant compared to a (40-100) D'Addario set I used to replace them.

 

I figure thay are better on fretless for that dark jazz vibe. Huge response on the low-mids. I still have them to test them on a fretless.

I had a set of the Red Devils (DR's red coated ones) on my Warwick a year or two ago. They started out pretty good; felt good, sounded great, etc.. When they went dead (which was only two months in), they sounded like crap. Way too tubby, with no definition whatsoever. Definitely a let-down for me.

Thanks, all. I may indeed try them on my junk-around jazz. Am actually looking around for different flats (than Fender) for my Rogue Beatle bass, in case youse guys have any comments toward that. [TI's are great of course, but I'm hoping for something nice but less expen$ive, in general, but then considerd trying these coated things.]
