Has anyone out there had any positive experience with the Innovation Rockabilly strings? I've read some negative stuff about them but theres usually a flip side to everything. So I'd like to hear. I imagine they're good for the slap stuff since they are called Rockabilly strings after all, but how are they on pizz? Are they really as toneless (dead sounding) as some folks claim?

Thanks

I've got a set of these strings on my bass, which I use mainly for rockabilly plus a little jazz/swing. Whilst they are certainly not as bright as steel strings, I find they give a warm woody sound with pretty good sustain. They are very easy on the fingers if you are into slapping, and the tension seems pretty low . I have a spare set which are hardly used if you are interested in buying them. Let me know if you want them.

I think I would be intrested in trying those strings.
I've heard both good and bad things about them but the only sure way to know is to try them myself on my bass. Email me with the details.

I also have a set of these strings that i alternate with Spirocores,i like the low tension of the innovations and the tone is o.k. for slap style when amplified,but they come nowhere near the spirocores for tone,amplified or not.Purists will tell you there is no substitute for gut when it comes to rockabilly,but if like me you play differing styles of music,it is hard to find a compromise string with low tension,sound,reasonable cost.Besides,the only person who can decide if you like them is you.Sorry.
