The E-string....
Melker 23.01.2015
Well, just like every other synthetic gut string I've tried. The G- and D-string delivers volume and provides perfect tension with regards to playability. The A-string is decent enough, but the E-string is just a whisper compared to the others. You NEED to amplify your bass to make anything you play on the E-string audiable. So these strings are fine in electric settings, but you should look elsewhere if you often play pizzicato or slap unamplified.

I haven't tried the bow on these strings so I cannot say anything about how they work for that purpose.

The low E-String was a bit flappy ( did not have enough tension ) for my tastes, but I do like the feel of the top three strings ; dry, powdery under the fingers but not abrasively dry. Good tone, and the flexibility is surprising - you'd expect to put in a lot more effort and wait longer for the string to return. SO you can play fast if you like ( although the soft sound does not really support it) they have definitely encouraged m to play more bass, and I look forward to recording. Work on getting that E-String a little tighter, guys!

For me the perfect string

these strings do what i would like them to do. Yes the E string is not that audible when playing acoustic, but except when i am at home, i always play amplified. After 2 years of playing the strings hold their own and sound still great.

Great strings for slap or pizz
Anonymous 11.08.2016
Awesome strings for slap or hard pizz playing. Low E string lacks punch, especially acoustically. Would recommend for anyone playing bluegrass or rockabilly. You lose some of the natural 'mwah' sound but the very low tension makes them very easy on the fingers.
