Twigman Posted May 21, 2012 Share Posted May 21, 2012 Just landed on my desk is a set of D'Addario chromes 50/70/85/105 I've never used these before. I've always used EBGroup3Flats 45/65/80/100 So what might I expect from these in comparison to what I am used to? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MarkG3 Posted May 21, 2012 Share Posted May 21, 2012 I have been using those exact strings for just over a year now and I love them, really nice smooth sound but as I am a pick player it adds some nice attack in there as well! I haven't got any experience from using the other strings though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
voxpop Posted May 21, 2012 Share Posted May 21, 2012 I use them on my Shuker fretless 6 and the sound is smooth with some punch due to the high tension. They will take a few weeks playing to settle down in which time the bright zing will disappear and the sound smooths out. Enjoy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Teobass88 Posted May 21, 2012 Share Posted May 21, 2012 (edited) I use this strings on my 4 strings basses and I've used them for a little bit of time on my Fretless warwick. Very smooth and warm, they bring out low-mid and bass frequencies heavily. Not so muddy as you can expect but absolutely without high-mid frequencies. They've a really strong tension, in my opinion they're the best strings of ever, considering only this feature. I don't advice them for fretless because they hide most of the meowing! After 4 years of activity on a JB Special...they're still perfect. Edited May 21, 2012 by Teobass88 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
