Hi-Beams MR-45 : Not for me ..

I didnt like these strings to be honest . The quality of them is fine , they are well built and of a solid construction, no problems there but I really did not like the feel of the strings, They are pretty rough to the touch , but worse still they are very sticky .

They also give off a lot of finger noise which may or may not bother you.

That stickiness hindered my playing of my bass though and made me miss a few notes and this bothers me ... so in the end I just went back to my regular strings.

Sound wise they were fine , bit bright but I'd expect that they would die down a little after they got broken in . The string tension was a bit loose also I thought. I would not buy them again to be honest .

I know lots of people rave about them and say they are the only strings for them but I really didn't find them at all for me.

So I recommend making your own mind up and not going on what others say ..

One mans poison and all that ...
