Anybody use Hartke strings? The price looks right, just wondering how the tone and life span on them are

Thought they were VERY, VERY good for the price.

$27 for a 3 pack around these parts.
Lasted a while (I'm a once a 6 monther or when it's the only thing I can afford in the store and I have to walk out with something) and got better when they settled in.
Not crazy brite at first which is up my alley.

If you like nickel strings, then they are great...I have bought them a few times, but I keep coming back to SS strings

I was surprised for the sound they get. They are quite bright, and are also long lasting. If I still played the rock/pop type stuff I would be using them.
As far as I know samash.com sells them.
