wrinkleygit Posted November 17, 2008 Share Posted November 17, 2008 Hello,anyone tried both of the above to give a comparison,I'm looking to restring my 5'er,my main preference is for a slack feel,ie a string that requires less tension to tune to pitch,tone wise nickel or comp wound stainless would both fit the bill.both sets come as 45-125,mike b.

yanto Posted November 22, 2008 Share Posted November 22, 2008 I've used both in 4 string and currently have MM Fatbeams on.IIRC the Sunbeams didn't last as long tonewise,but I did like the feel-think the tension was a wee bit less as well.The Fatbeams are very balanced and give nice round tone but do eat my frets a bit-that may be the way I play.

Hamster Posted November 22, 2008 Share Posted November 22, 2008 I'm using both these strings at the moment. I really like both of them but I think the Sunbeams will be the slightly better choice for what you're looking for. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
