S.I.T. Nickel power Wound vs. Dunlop Nickel

[prokfrog]

Hi has anyone here tried both? I currently use SIT Power wound, but I'm interested in the Dunlops, but am looking to see how they compare. thanks

I have a set of Dunlop's on a G&L JB-2. I find them to be very bright and kinda thin (sorta Geddy Lee(ish).

I've used both and they sound really similar but the Dunlops were dead after a month and the SIT's lasted five months.

I did take the Dunlops off once to clean the bass so that might have had something to do with it, but I kept them away from the cleaner and wax by taking them off.

Dunlops have lower tension and a more midrangey sound. They are very similar to DR Sunbeams. You also don't have to worry about buying 'long scale' or 'short scale' with Dunlop, they fit most anything.

I actually like both strings. You can't beat SIT for the price, but I mainly use Dunlops now. I just like the sound and feel better.
