Tjhooker Posted December 23, 2020 Share Posted December 23, 2020 What do you guys think? Probably has a fair bit to do with the bass they are on but in your experience..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
itu Posted December 23, 2020 Share Posted December 23, 2020 Very rough estimation is that nickel RWs have flatter response (more middle), and SSs sound a bit like smiley eq curve. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have this same opinion and tried both strings on different basses Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bazzbass Posted December 24, 2020 Share Posted December 24, 2020 D'Addario nickel rounds and maybe Elixir Nanowebs work for me for mid punch, as I call it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Took the recommendations right out of my mouth! For what it’s worth, the Elixirs will hold their tone far longer than the D’Addarios due to being coated, but they are of course more expensive as a result. Potentially worth it though if you’d rather spend less time changing strings. Edited December 24, 2020 by CameronJ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shoulderpet Posted December 24, 2020 Share Posted December 24, 2020 Definitely not Pro steels I can tell you that, put those strings on a dark sounding bass and say goodbye to being able to hear yourself Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mcnach Posted December 25, 2020 Share Posted December 25, 2020 DR Pure Blues have a nice prominent midrange. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
moley6knipe Posted December 27, 2020 Share Posted December 27, 2020 Another vote for the D’Addarios. Lifelong steel user, put a set on my Dimension and I’m never going back. They suit pick, fingers and slap really well IMO. And a reasonable price and everyone stocks them I want to love Elixirs but due to my massively incompetent pick technique I seemed to shred the coating off them!
