Lakland Strings

[size=4]I've recently bought a Lakland 55-01 Ltd edition and am loving it![/size]

[size=4]I see from the Lakland website that it has Lakland strings (LCWS5 strings - 5 string medium 45-128), these are stainless steel strings whereas I normally use Nickel ones...[/size]

[size=4]I do however really like them (mostly because they don't quite feel like stainless strings to me, more like a halfway house, less harsh than steel but still very snappy sounding), has anyone tried the Lakland Nickel ones and are they any good?[/size]

I've seen another Lakland string topic ([size=4][url="http://basschat.co.uk/topic/116410-lakland-replacement-strings/page__p__1072372__hl__lakland__fromsearch__1#entry1072372"]http://basschat.co.uk/topic/116410-lakland-replacement-strings/page__p__1072372__hl__lakland__fromsearch__1#entry1072372[/url]) but it doesn't really cover the what or the 'how nice' of the strings as it focuses mainly on the 'where do I get them'...[/size]

I used to use Lakland nickels and loved them. You can order Lakland strings direct from their website. I felt they were pretty close to XL's, my favourite string. They were pretty cheap, especially if you order a couple of packs at the same time. I tihnk they were about £21 inc postage for a 5 string set back the.
I did try the SS strings and did like them, they did seem a bit mellower than the usual SS i've tried in the past.

I think they are made by GHS, and some people say you might as well just get those but i couldnt find an identical set so wne tfor the Laklands.

That's fab, thanks Dave!

...apparently they put D'addario's on the Skyline series now...the strings on mine have coloured ball-ends, just been confirmed by Brian Gingrich at Lakland! Presume they're cheaper than the GHS made ones in this time of squeezed margins!
