Yeah, i like Chromes for their brightness. I love the feel of TI's but feel Chromes are a nice middle ground and can work with almost any type of music.
I've had a set of Chromes almost every bass iv'e owned over the past 6 years but I do keep going back to rounds, I miss the overtones and find them more "musical".
I find D'Addario EXL's to be a good compromise, especially once they loose some of the zing.
