RS665LD : Lifeless

7 years ago

I had never tried stainlesss steel strings before and was excited to hear the super-bright tone this material promised. And at a bargain price!

After taking off a set of D'Addario EXL-170s which are nickel-wound strings, I was very disappointed to hear the Rotosounds were duller than the three-month-old D'Addarios. Not only that but the B-string sounded like complete mud in comparison. And these were brand new!

For what it's worth, this was on an Ibanez SR605, so you may experience different results with a different bass.
