Black Beauties BKB-45 : Strings for the show

Hello

I'am not professional bassist, and I do not have much experience, but I honestly expected more from thease strings. They sound, alright but they just dont feel right when I play on them. The black color is nice and makes my bass look awsome! But if you use a pick, the black paint will chip a little (not sure if thats just me), and the surface feels kind of like plastic.

Because these are coated, you need to take care when installing them that you don't just yank the strings through the bridge as you install them, otherwise you risk scraping off the micro-thin coating. When installed properly, you should not have to worry about the coating coming off with normal use. I use a pick most of the time and have not seen any evidence of the coating coming off where the pick contacts the strings, or in any of the most commonly played sections of the fingerboard.

In conclusion, Good sound but bad feel.
