I've decided to use my test set to revitalise my very first bass, a cheapo which still had the strings it originally came with. I played it a little with the old strings earlier today, to remind myself of what it sounds like, and then installed the NYXLs. I'm now waiting for them to stabilise, then I'll set the action and the intonation, and report back. :)

I've been using D'addario nickel and pro steel bass strings on my Alembic basses since 2010 and cover a number of styles from Reggae, Jazz-Funk, RNB and Soul so would love to beta test a 5 string set 45 - 130 on my Series II bass since that is the next one due for re-stringing and I will be using it on the next few gigs and rehearsals. It currently has the same pro-steels on since July 2014 and they still sound nice and crisp.

Cheers

Pity I've just restrung my headless 5 string with Elixir nanoweb as I wanted to try these coated strings but if these D'addario's fit my Dingwall ABZ5 I'd love to try a set as I don't have many string options for 37" scale :)

cheers

Heard good things about the guitar version, was just about to order some new strings for my Mike lull 5, but it's 35" scale - will these be available for 35" basses?

Forgot to add I'm not only gigging, rehearsing, teaching and recording - but doing set ups and restrings for local bassists too.

Have a fair idea of what I want and what others want from strings...

Would love a chance to try a 5 string set. Regularly use D'Addarios as well as SIT. I was recently contacted by SIT to "road-test" the new RB's, so have a good idea of what is expected of beta testing.
Gig around 65 times a year so strings get plenty of action.

I was about to order another set of Elixir nanoweb steels to replace the set on my American Deluxe Precision. I've got Elixirs on my TRB 1005 and L2000 as well, but I'd be very interested in giving these a go - a set of 45-100s.

The other strings I am currently using are DR LoRiders (both steel and nickel sets) and DR Sunbeams so I would be able offer comparisons between these and the NYXLs as well.

i would love to test a set of 4 string 45-100's please! I absolutely kill strings and have tried pretty much everything available in the never ending quest - currently settled on Dunlop Super brights but love EB Cobalts too..... gigging every week and get about 4 gigs to each set before i change them.

I would love to try a 4 string set on my Stingray HH. Always used Slinkys (as that is what Ernie Ball intended the bass to be used with) and it sounds great but I've been thinking about giving something else a try. Would be good to get a comparison.
