| | | I just switched from Hi-beams to Lo-riders. Love 'em. Used the Hi-beams for years, but I am a very nonchalant bass-player, and that sometimes went over the top with those supple strings. I needed more stiffness (=tightness in my case). I use the nickel-plated version by the way (they feel softer, which is good with my delicate female hands  |
