FT: Elixir 5-string Long/Medium

Hadn't tried Elixir's in about 3 years so bought a set to compare to the stainless rounds I've been using.

Didn't like the feel of them.

These have at most 2 hours of light fingerstyle playing on them and are cut to fit a Fender MIA Deluxe 5-string (4+1 headstock)

I'd trade them for a new set of:
5-string Stainless ProSteels, RotoSounds, Dunlop's, or Ernie Ball Coated strings.

I'd sell them outright for $32 shipped. Average price I can find for new 5-string Elixirs on ebay, juststrings.com etc appears to be around $46.

And... bump.

what length ? How about GHS progressives (taper core) ?

Long Scale length which is for 34" Scale basses strung via the bridge not string through.

I think the Progressives are Nickle. At this point I'm looking for Stainless roundwounds... the taper core isn't necessarily a minus or plus for me. I've played both.
