2835 Extra Slinky : Exactly the sound I was after

These might not be everyone's cup of tea, but for the chimey sound I was trying to achieve, these are perfect. I needed something tight, clear (glassy, if that makes sense?) with pronounced mids and more defined top-end. I'm into players like Justin Chancellor and Les Claypool who seem to have a very particular sound.

I'm not a Bass player in the traditional sense, though I use a Bass regularly to record my music with, so I was initially at a loss as to what kind of strings to go for to get the sound I wanted. I described my needs to a Bass player friend of mine who recommended these and Hi-Beams.

Having tried both sets out, I definitely prefer these. They just seem to have that bit more bite to them, but with a light feel that is easier for my fingers to get around.

I really enjoy playing my Bass with these strings, they're easy to get used to for someone who is used to playing guitar, and they sound amazing! Even made my Squier Jaguar Bass sound great. :)
