D'Addario Chromes

[Twigman]

Just landed on my desk is a set of D'Addario chromes 50/70/85/105

I've never used these before.
I've always used EBGroup3Flats 45/65/80/100

So what might I expect from these in comparison to what I am used to?

I have been using those exact strings for just over a year now and I love them, really nice smooth sound but as I am a pick player it adds some nice attack in there as well! I haven't got any experience from using the other strings though.

I use them on my Shuker fretless 6 and the sound is smooth with some punch due to the high tension.
They will take a few weeks playing to settle down in which time the bright zing will disappear and the sound smooths out.

Enjoy.

I use this strings on my 4 strings basses and I've used them for a little bit of time on my Fretless warwick.

Very smooth and warm, they bring out low-mid and bass frequencies heavily. Not so muddy as you can expect but absolutely without high-mid frequencies.
They've a really strong tension, in my opinion they're the best strings of ever, considering only this feature.

I don't advice them for fretless because they hide most of the meowing!


After 4 years of activity on a JB Special...they're still perfect.
