Coated bass strings

Posted by: rxdca <rxdca@...>

I had d'Addario half-rounds on my Toby Pro-5 for about 7 years now, same set.  I felt like they needed to be changed.  Even though I was relatively happy with the half-rounds, especially the feel, I thought I would try a set of coated strings.  Since I'm a pretty dedicated d'Addario guy I thought I would give the Exp's a try.  Now, I've tried the coated strings on my acoustic, Elixers, and I never liked the feel of them, the coating felt "funny".  However, these bass Exp's I can hardly feel the coating, they feel pretty much like uncoated strings... except they aren't as noisy when moving fingers (not as much of a problem with the bass as the acoustic).  I have to say that I love these.  I didn't realize how dead the old strings had gotten.  The new Exp's have a LOT more growl and punch.  It makes my bass sound the way it is intended to sound.  When I finally replace these I'm probably going to replace them with another set of Exp's.

I might give the Exp's a try on my acoustic.  Does anyone have any experience with them?
