ECB81 : New favourite bass strings

4 years ago

These are great strings. I don't know what it is about them - they have a very gentle metallic twang and give you lots of lovely overtones and harmonics. They're also very easy on your fingertips and just feel lighter than regular roundwounds of the same gauge. They have the added benefit that they are much more resistant to tarnishing the nickel steels. I seem to be able to tarnish guitar strings in a couple of hours (less so bass strings) but these stay really nice and clean. They're also very easy to re-polish with a little stainless steel cleaner.
