Tapered - not for everyone

Great looking strings. Seem to sound good too (have not played them enough). Unfortunately I had not realized they had tapered ends: a lot of buzzing as action is now too low on the bridge end. I don't want to mess up my saddles and action so I am reverting back to my usual strings brand. A pity.

These can't be coated

Bought this for a project "monochrome" bass, yes I am being a tart..., anyway, I didn't expect them to sound as great as they do! So impressed with the tone on these bad boys, I'll be buying DR coated strings for all my basses now I think
