| | |  Thomastik Infeld - yeeeaaahhhhhhh!
Yep. Infeld Superalloy IN344 on my Fender Jazz Bass MIA. Low end and a lot of a good tone. I'm falling in love again with my bass. Thank you Thomastik. These are the best strings i tried so far.
Who share with me this joy?

| | Registered User | | Join Date: Mar 2006 Location: Minnesota | | | just curious, as all mine are top loaded, and many flats are not recommended to be STB .. TI's the exception it seems ... I have been contemplating going back to a STB bass and would possibly use these there ... glad you are enjoying them, I am a bit less enthusiastic of mine, and have moved most of my TI's to homes with more love, but holding on to one last set just in case ... |

FWIW I prefer top-loading whenever possible. |

| | | | I used them on my Marcus Miller in the past. I agree with you. They are very nice indeed and last a long time. Btw, does a 5 string Superalloy set exist?

| | | | IMO the best roundwound string, not too bright, nice mid tone, good bass, very flexible |

|  | Registered User | | Join Date: Dec 2002 Location: Cookeville, TN | | | I have them on my G&L SB1, and I think they're the best sounding roundwound I've ever had on it. However, like many strings, they compliment the bass you have them on. I really don't like them on my MIA Jazz Bass, and they're just "Ok" on my MIA P.
They last for friggin' ever! |

| | | This strings are amazing. They are still "fresh" in my bass.
They last a lot!!!!

| | | | It's a very good tone! after a few weeks they broke in. And then it's just tone after tone improvement. Almost a year after they still have a good bite.
I recommend them to everyone. I now that i found my strings!

| | Registered User | | Join Date: Sep 2009 Location: Madrid, Spain | | | I took them off of my L2500. The low-B sounded awfull after maybe 8 months and the above 5th fret sounded too tubey. Though I really liked them when I first putted them on.
Now I´m back to Sadowsky blue nickels wich sound pretty good. The low-B is tapered and is more articulated. On its own sound diferent from the other 4 strings but in the mix sound good.

Did you just say too tubey? According to my brain washed understanding, the scale actually goes from: NOT TUBEY ENOUGH all the way to STILL NOT TUBEY ENOUGH. Only one person has ever reached 11 on the tubeyness scale, and that is JimmyM. I think he may be the only one authorized to declare anything TOO TUBEY.
Or did you mean TOO MUCH TB?
Possibly. Woof! I need another down time already.

I forgot how much I like these strings just the right amount of tension for me and no clanking.
I stopped using them because back in the day when I read the Bassplayer String Shootout showing a very low bass output on them and there Powerbass strings.
So I have chasing the String Dragon for years and now have come back to Superalloy's
