Pros and Cons of Super Slinkys:

[MistaMarko]

I've been using DR Hi-Beams lately, but they feel so sticky when I play..its like they're coated in sandpaper..It's so hard to manuver on the plucking hand, so I figured I'd go back to my Super Slinkys if the Hi-Beams don't grow on me anytime soon.

I know the strings are really light, but are there any real disadvantages to super slinkys? (ernie ball..40/60/75/90/120 or whatever it is)

or..any Pros?

Well, they don't sound like stainless steel Hi-Beams, that's for sure. =P

I'd just give them a shot. I haven't used them, but they're cheap and I've heard nothing but good. Go for it!

I've used super slinkys for a long time and loved them. I haven't had a problem with them and deliver a great tone when new. (Even when well weared... which I actually prefer. )

I have used Reg slinks and hi-beams, on my 5r, liked them both. Imo, the hi-beams B and E strings have a bit more tension; its possible that the super slinks will be less taught.

Have you considered GHS Bass Boomers? I'm only asking because I used to use super slinkys almost exclusively, but I switched to boomers and haven't regretted it. I prefer the tone and clarity to the slinkys. Also, it looks like you play a fretless, so I'm not sure how that would play into the sound with the boomers.

Well my main is a Cirrus 5 BXP..i just use a fretless for jazz..on there i just use d'addario flats..but im using hi-beams for my cirrus at the moment..but i hate how they feel sticky, so im trying to figure out the next strings i should get.

My experience with Ernie Ball (both with guitar and bass) is this; they're affordable, stay in tune well and will sound good for a week or two, but when they are worn they sound like poo.

I second that EB's die quickly. And I'm not fond of their dead sound. However they growl like no tomorrow when they are new and fresh. I would recommend the 45-65-80-100 set though.
