    Does Fully Coated Strings (like Elixir) Cause Less Fret Wear?

    I looked it up, doing a search, but couldn't find any threads/posts addressing this question. So does fully coated strings, like Elixir Nanoweb nickel-plated roundwound strings, cause less fret wear than conventional uncoated nickel-plated roundwound strings, like D'Addario XL strings?

    DR Strings Club v2

    Technically there's an older DR Strings club but at the time of this post, the OP last logged in in 2010 and the last post there was in 2014. So, let's start up another one! There's all kinds of brand fan clubs for the instruments themselves. Strings are such an integral part of our sound and...

    Help! Where do I find custom gauge bass strings for dingwall that aren't black daggers?

    I got my first multiscale bass, and I'm having trouble finding strings for it. My sweat ruins strings unbelievably fast, so I've always used elixir or other strings to deal with that. Elixir doesn't make anything that fits a 37 inch scale, and I cant find any coated options besides black...

    DR Black Beauties were immensely disappointing.

    For context, I play a PJ bass and I saw them on their website with a quote from Geezer Butler talking about how good they are, so I figured I should try them. As soon as I put them on my bass they had low output and sounded incredibly thin-- I had to EQ in so much bass that my wah pedal (Dunlop...

    Neon Blue colored strings disaster

    So I refinished the finger ramp on my headless to more closely match the purple/blue theme on the body and really let the flame to Maple show through. So I strip it down to bare wood, refinish it and reinstall it and it looks amazing! As part of that, I thought why not try a set of those cool...

    Are there any tapewound or coated strings in which the wrap is electrically conductive? I love Labella tapes and DR Black Beauties but there is an undeniable buzz unless I am making contact with the bridge. Does such a thing exist? If not, why? Surely those chaps at NASA can come up with...
