Gunsfreddy2003 Posted April 4, 2009 Share Posted April 4, 2009 Has anyone tried the new Nexus coated strings from Rotosound yet? I am going to try a set of coated strings as I love the zingy sound from a new set of strings but just wish it would last longer. I have read on the forum that the life of the Elixir strings is good but also some really bad comments about the coating coming off which I must admit does worry me a little. Hoping the the Nexus strings could be the answer but not keen to shell out on them if they are crap and not as good the Elixir's. Any advice appreciated.

Rowbee Posted April 5, 2009 Share Posted April 5, 2009 You could also try DR coated strings and the bonus is they come in all kinds of funky colours too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gunsfreddy2003 Posted April 6, 2009 Author Share Posted April 6, 2009 Do they keep their brightness for a long time? What sort of price do they go for?

I found much longer than Elixir strings, which once they were going they went very quickly. Best place is Ebay and at the moment you can get them for £30 a set. Because of the current exchange rates it's not so attractive to buy them from the US but still a little cheaper. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gunsfreddy2003 Posted April 6, 2009 Author Share Posted April 6, 2009 When you say not uber bright - can you give any more clarification? Or should I say that I like the Marcus Miller type sound - are they as bright as that?

Thanks Mark[/quote] I would say no, I personally feel they have a "week-on" sound and don't have that zingy MM sound. Perhaps not for you then.

Gunsfreddy2003 Posted April 6, 2009 Author Share Posted April 6, 2009 Would anyone say that the Elixir or Rotosound Nexus strings are bright enough for the MM sound when fresh on?
