3045 L Boomers : It's a tricky one

4 years ago

Very smooth to the touch strings, mid-focused sound but with a slight narrow scoop at about 500Hz, very useful.

Some people say they die very quickly, but actually they just take a long time to break-in, which I don't like as a session player.

When you first put the strings on they are almost unplayable for about 6 hours of playing, they settle very slowly, so I can't just put a fresh set and start recording.

On the other hand they age in a weird way, they don't lose much of their high end or character, but they lose a whole lot of output, I changed this set for a D'Addario and the output difference was huge!

They are cheap and have the perfect texture, but they need a lot of break-in time.

Perfect for people that don't change strings frequently, but a real pain for people that need a good tone from right-out-of-the-box strings.
