Got a bass off the classifieds that came with these on there, havent changed them in a month and they are unbelievable! I get DR Hi-Beams for free and im actually spending my own money on TI's from now on. They seriously have the smoothest break in ive experienced, and they feel the same as the day i got them. |

| | | | You get Hi-Beams for free? Well then, if you're switching, hook us up brother!
Seriously, though, I've always wanted to try TI's, if not on my electric then on my upright. They get such rave reviews, but they're so expensive! |

| | | I just picked up a set of these TI superalloy 345 and I got them at 50% off cause the store was moving and downsizing  I should of bought the powerbass set they had too. When I got home I wanted to put them on my modulus flea but they seem a bit too long on the b string so I thinking that I'll try them on my warwick that's a 35" scale. I like the warwick strings alot and havent tried anything else on it.... anyone have any thoughts? |

Both are nice and crisp but have more body to the sound. They last a long, long time as well. Great strings!

They had the same kind of pitch stability that I associate with R. Cocco strings. I've stuck with Cocco, as having a bit less tension, but these are excellent strings.

Good strings. I had them on a Jazz bass for a while. They were a little "polite" for me -- I like a bit more of that clanky, high-end bite -- but they still give a nice round, punchy sound.
