How much would you pay for a set of strings that never lose its brightness?
 

hmm

Nothing. I dislike even flatwounds until they have lost their initial brightness. TO me, strings sound better about six months after installation.

I've had my Labella flats for 6 years now.

I paid around $60.

So, I'd pay around $60 for a set of rounds that would last as long as my Labellas.

Bright strings would be worthless for me.

^ this. :bassist:

Yep

What if we threw in these gorgeous cubic zirconia earings??

NOW how much would you pay??!!??!!

I'd pay more for the ability to fly or pick up a car since we are day dreaming

I love bright strings, but strings stretch over time and the frets make divots on the bottom sides so I wouldn't even dream of having a set of strings on any bass for more than a year tops. I normally go about 4 months or so.

I prefer the sound of strings after they aged so I wouldn't pay at all.

What do I get if I act now?

Not a penny ... I don't buy snake oil. Time and tension will cause fatigue in any material, and the tone as well as "tunability" would suffer.

But Wait! There's More...
Act now and we'll include a SECOND set of bass strings, AND a second pair of earrings ABSOLUTELY FREE!!! You pay ONLY the extra shipping and handling charges.

You should. I rub snake oil on my strings daily and they never lose brightness.

In all seriousness though, I think I would pay a couple hundred bucks if they sounded great and never ever lost anything at all in sound quality, as long as they had a lifetime replacement guarantee for breakage.

I'd pay for an already dead set of rounds, the only kind of rounds I like.

At the risk of getting too far OT. This reminded me of an old Tubes song I love. What Do You Want from Life
Excerpt here...

Well, you can't have that, but if you're an American citizen you are entitled to:
a heated kidney shaped pool,
a microwave oven--don't watch the food cook,
a Dyna-Gym--I'll personally demonstrate it in the privacy of your own home,
a king-size Titanic unsinkable Molly Brown waterbed with polybendum,
a foolproof plan and an airtight alibi,
real simulated Indian jewelry,
a Gucci shoetree,
a year's supply of antibiotics,
a personally autographed picture of Randy Mantooth
and Bob Dylan's new unlisted phone number,
a beautifully restored 3rd Reich swizzle stick,
Rosemary's baby,
a dream date in kneepads with Paul Williams,
a new Matador, a new mastodon,
a Maverick, a Mustang, a Montego,
a Merc Montclair, a Mark IV, a meteor,
a Mercedes, an MG, or a Malibu,
a Mort Moriarty, a Maserati, a Mac truck,
a Mazda, a new Monza, or a moped,
a Winnebago--Hell, a herd of Winnebago's we're giving 'em away,
or how about a McCulloch chainsaw,
a Las Vegas wedding,
a Mexican divorce,
a solid gold Kama Sutra coffee pot,
or a baby's arm holding an apple?

+1, I totally agree with this, I just assumed the OP was asking hypothetically...

+1 same price for my Pyramid Golds

Oh if that were possible....but if it were, I'd say $50-60 since that's what some really fancy flats go for. I find it fair since most people don't like fresh flats at all.
