Black Beauties BKB-45 : Black is only for the looks and does not hold...
I was curious to try these on a JCBass and a fretless bass.
After one day on the JCB the black coating was gone on all strings were they touch the frets. The sound was ok, but a little bit light.
Tried them on a fretless, (apart from the white spots due to the frets of the JCBass) they look nice on a dark unlined fretboard. The sound was ok but also what you can expect from light strings.
The feel is a bit slippery and rough at the same time but you get used to that.
So concluding: they are nothing special, only for the looks.
