[quote name='dave_bass5' post='1048148' date='Dec 5 2010, 01:33 PM']After doing just one gig i think in going to take the DR's off and put XL's back on.
My bass felt too difference last night, and although it was a pretty crappy stage and very bright room i felt the DR's are just not for me.
I think ill sell them and buy some more XL's.[/quote]
[quote name='bassmanady' post='1244752' date='May 25 2011, 08:39 PM']Same for me too! ..i fitted an orange set a couple of weeks ago,to my 5 string jazz and found i did not like the sound or feel of them at all..i have done 2 gigs and 3 rehearsals to give them a chance,but they are coming off and being replaced with my usual elixir nanoweb.
i also found them a bit overpowering to look at when playing under lights with this big 5 string band of orange glaring at you.found myself making even more mistakes than normal
still its good to try other strings.[/quote]
I recently fitted a set of DR's & found the same... Didn't like the feel, didn't like the sound...[i]all gnarly & no warmth[/i]... they're coming off after 1 gig!.. back to D'addario EXL 170-5's for me.... I don't think I've ever not liked a set of strings so much before!... That surprised me...
