D'Addario EXP's just purchased....

(EXP Coated D'Addario strings conduct electricity so they do not have the grounding problem that other coated strings can have)

Well, these strings dulled to that "Motown" sound after just two gigs, so off they come. I want that new-string brightness for as long as possible...I guess I'll try Elixir's new stainless strings.... :-/

I didn't like my last set of D'Addrios XL nickels, too scooped.

Good luck

I found I liked EB Slinkies on my MusicMan bass compared to all the other string brands I tried on it.
