Last year I spoke to a Rotosound rep who told me that the only a polymer coating doesn't change the sound. DR confirmed this, & Dragonskins are polymer coated Hibeams. (I keep going back to Hibeams.) If round wound strings get flat largely from gunk & grime, aren't polymer coated round wounds...
Had my first order from Bassstringsonline.com recently and thought I'd post about it. I had decided to get a bit adventurous. My experience with bass strings is really pretty light. Mostly I just buy basic steel roundwounds and am done with it, but I thought I'd try something new with this...
Hi,
Does anyone have any experience of the Black Smith coated strings? Can't find much at all written about these and I'm curious to know how they sound and how long they stay sounding fresh.
Has anyone tried them? If so, what did you think?
Cheers
OK, I just got a beautiful Medium Scale Japanese Fender '62 Jazz Bass in 3 tone sunburst & took off the pickguard already (now I just need the P-Bass knobs ;) & I am gettin' 'em too, no kiddin'). I love playing fretless, but I've never actually owned one, until now...and, this... Is... IT!!
I'm...

As the thread title says, I'm looking for something pretty specific. I want the bright aggressive tone of roundwound strings, but double ball end to use on my headless bass... And black for a particular look. (Also, I'm not looking for a "looks don't matter" response - maybe that works for you...
I ordered a couple sets of these a few months back from everybody's favourite string dealer, Bassstringsonline.com. I got a gold set for my Fender and a purple set for a student. My Fender is decked out in gold hardware so I wanted some gold strings to match. I have used DR coloured strings...

I have elixir nickel coated strings on one of my basses:
Recently bought elixir stainless steel coated strings from an online vendor but, does this look like a coated string?
Hey, I need new strings for my precision. I dig the color and was wondering if anyone had experience with this string or coated strings in general. Feel? Tone? Thanks.
I’ve searched around the site and haven’t seen this specific topic discussed, so I figured I start a thread.
I bought a bass recently that was strung with D’Addario FlexSteels (EFX220 Super Light) and I was amazed by the playability of the bass with those strings. My go-to strings for years...
Yesterday, I strung up my Modern Player Jazz Bass with DR Black Beauties. Starting with the G, I replaced the old string and brought the new string up to proper tension. There was almost zero difference in tone, the G was identical in sound to a thoroughly worn-in roundwound string. Very...
