Clarky Posted September 13, 2014 Share Posted September 13, 2014 (edited) Got these today and A/B'd against Velvet Blues on my old boomy German flatback and they are just too dark and bass-y on my bass (it needs slightly brighter strings, especially when amplified). Cost me £138 [url="http://www.soundunlimited.co.uk/products/daddario_zyex_bass_set_34_lgt_-_dz610_34l?gclid=Cj0KEQjw1s-gBRCKwOKQ1sWonvsBEiQA8qALFSO03g_TQUQJKoJGkOTemkoA686k0mlEs95nZ2fTJCsaAhD58P8HAQ"]http://www.soundunli...TJCsaAhD58P8HAQ[/url] and literally no more than one hour of use. £95 posted (yay, another big loss!) For reference these are (to my ears) extremely similar to Evah Pirazzi Weichs Edited September 29, 2014 by Clarky Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clarky Posted September 14, 2014 Author Share Posted September 14, 2014 Here's a vid of some dude playing Zyex strings. In case unfamiliar, these strings are highly favoured by bluegrass players (eg, Missy Raines and Barry Bales, Alison Kraus' bassist) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j8ZG5Uu20dM Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Clarky Posted September 25, 2014 Author Share Posted September 25, 2014 (edited) Withdrawing these due (1) lack of interest and (2) will keep them as backup strings Edited September 25, 2014 by Clarky Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
