ECB81 : soundkiller or killersound?

Over years i played round wounds. Why? because i knew the old recordings from the 60ies and 70ies(?), where most bass players had to play the flat wounds. and this sound was absolutely not the sound i wanted to have.

now it was time to test flat wounds on my Sandberg VM4. and the Daddario ECB81 Chromes had very interesting reviews :"....much treble....good feeling...."

I put the strings on my bass and it was such a cooool feeling. you can slide over your strings without the well known noises (ok...in some situations even these noises make a part of a bass sound).

sustain: very good in my opinion

sound: very bassy sound with enough treble...

perfect for fingerpicking and playing with a pick.

slapping is possible and does work good, but it sounds a little bit more ...I don´t know.."un-funky"?

the question soundkiller or killersound? my answer is, that it depends a little on the music you are playing, but if you are not a slapping-freak, it will work for all kinds and styles of music very well. KILLERSOUND with the comfort of playing flat wounds.
