Which Strings Do You Play ???

[captain_jan]

Moi Kalle,
 
Yes, I tried Alembic strings a long time ago and I did find them hard to play as well. Also I could not find gauges made by Alembic light enough for me since I use a set of 30-50-70-90 which are very light indeed. I have used Elites on my Alembics and Status and Superwounds on the Jaydee. Well, actually I haven't changed any of them for ages....maybe I should but on an active-circuit bass I can't really say I would be disturbed by older more dead set of strings....Maybe because I haven't heard the difference in a long time..

So far the best tone I've found has been with DR Lo-riders on my Epic 4. My only complaint is that is seems that the D string lost it's pop more quickly than the other strings.So they have a new home on my Warwick fretless. I put a fresh set of DR Hi-Beams and man, I forgot how bright they are! I'll wear 'em out and try a nickel plated string next. I'll also get a set of the Lo-riders just in case. So, there is my 2 cents. Hope it helps.

hi, i preferred the dr-lo rider strings on my spector ns5, but they don't do well on the rogue. somehow the sound seems not to be well balanced and they become muddy very quickly. so i switched back to the foderas. great strings. they keep there sound longer than rotosound and are very well balanced over the whole spectrum.  
unfortunately i do not have the possibility to check the alembic cx3. there is no store in germany.

Personally, I play all four  
 
 
Okay, enough of the humor! I use Dean Markley Blue Steel strings. I have tried Alembic's strings and I didn't like them- sorry! I have tried a lot of different strings, but keep going back to the Blue Steels. I do, however, like the Elixir's, but I don't think they are worth the $50 pricetag.
