D'addario chromes rough feeling

[dinghy]

Are they going to stay like this? I've been playing a few hours and they feel terrible. It must be because they're made of steel instead of nickel, but is there anything I can do about this or will they eventually break in or am I stuck with it?

They will break in. Oh yes they will break in.

i have chromes on my mim jazz deluxe and they sound great, real r&b sound. they dont take long to wear in man, but once they do they feel awesome and sound great. you know what flats are like, they last for ages man.

Yeah I want to put a light gauge of Chromes on my Bullet bass but the Chromes I have on there now sound so damn good. Heck even the Chromes on my fretless sound amazing!

My chromes don't feel rough at all. It's like I'm rubbing my finger down a stick a buttah.

They scratched up my fretless board, so I'll only use 'em on fretted now.

I thought so too at first, now they feel like smoooooth skin, and my rounds feel like sand paper.
