Still haven't found a good string solution for my fretless playing. Been using Roto's but they still aren't quite right. |

| | | | Elixers on one of 'em. DR Extra's on the other (Red Devils, to be exact.... I think that makes the difference). |

I had a set of Elixers briefly, I hated them. |

| | Registered User | | Join Date: Jan 2005 Location: New York, NY | | | D'Addario half-rounds on my Fender Jazz fless. Sometimes I love em, sometimes I don't. They're very low tension and sound very bright. Not sure if I'm going to keep using them, I may go back to Fender flats. |

But I think I'm going to switch them to Rotosound 77s or TI Jazz Flats in the hope for more "mwah", and a better walking tone. I'm guessing the TI's will be the winner, but I dislike their looseness.

The TI's are very bright and full of life. They're kind of slinky, but unbelieveable tone. The Lakland flats sound more like flatwounds ... plenty of thump, but you have to EQ in a lot of mid to get any growl out of them.

I'd tried a compression-wound string (DR Nickel Lo-Riders), but they're just a bit too mellow for my taste. The rounds are a little livelier, yield more mwah...
