They're just the warwick yellow labels(i think they're yellow labels, they have yellow bits on the box).

I hate new strings. They're so ..... new.

I like 'em once they get all that zing worn off.

Top end is for guitarists....and cymbals. And flutes.

Me play bass. Ugh.

lol, I only used warwick strings because it's what I had spare. They are a little bright right now, but they'll soon wear in and sound real nice.

Nah! I love that twangy new string sound! everything just seems to ring out like a dream, especialy harmonics and slap, I love it! i think it's great just whaking up the low bass and high top on the eq and spending the afternoon jumping around my bedroom in a slapping frenzy! (my new string ritual)

Hey Nick & Charling, either one of you guys ever try
Picato strings? They're made in UK and are good strings.
They're not really available here in the US, as they don't have
a distributor. I was able to get some promo sets shipped over
from England, they're actually quite good, maybe worth
trying out some time.

Cheers,

Slug

Yeah, I like strings better once the zing wears off as well. I do like the slap sound with new strings however. For some things they're good I guess.
