Double ball end strings

[steve-soar]

Just wondering what peoples views are about the two types I've mentioned.
I've used Elites on my headless for years and use to change them every week or so when I was gigging the bass, so I didn't really know if they died naturally or not as I was changing them after 5 or 6 gigs.
I've never tried Status strings so I would be grateful for peoples opinions as ordering 6 sets doesn't seem too steep.
I have had this set of Elites on for about 4 months but I don't play it that often and the G string was dead straight out of the packet, so I fancy a change, can anybody help?
Thanks
Steve.

i buy Status hotwires 30-90 in the bulk pack for both headed & headless, not had a problem, before that i used DR hibeams , and have found the hotwires to be very similar , but a lot cheaper.

The down side of calling Status is last time I ordered a box of stings , i accidently ordered a streamliner ;-)
