Nostromo Posted November 18, 2015 Posted November 18, 2015 (edited) Hi, Does anyone have any experience of these strings. I'm thinking of trying some on a fender jazz bass. Am intrigued to know if the "balanced tension" thing has any noticeable impact on playing feel or tone ? Also wondered what colour the winding silks would be on these ? . . and I guess anyone tho’se using them would known that ! Cheers Edited November 18, 2015 by Nostromo Quote
pineweasel Posted November 18, 2015 Posted November 18, 2015 Got some on my jazz. I'm hard pressed to notice any difference from my normal EXL165s to be honest. No silks. Quote
ead Posted November 19, 2015 Posted November 19, 2015 I love them, they are on all my fretted basses. The balanced tension thing works for me at any rate. Quote
PlungerModerno Posted November 20, 2015 Posted November 20, 2015 (edited) Tried a set of the "Super Light" 95 - 40's (EXL220BT) Pretty damn good. Didn't have silks. Won't last as long as elixirs but they are a lot cheaper! Edited November 20, 2015 by PlungerModerno Quote
machinehead Posted November 20, 2015 Posted November 20, 2015 I use the EXL220BT on all by basses at the moment. I love how they feel. The lighter gauge makes it easier to play vibrato and bend notes a little. They don't lose anything sound-wise compared to a heavier gauge. Frank. Quote
