anyone have much experience with inno silverslaps? kinda leaning towards them when it comes time to upgrade. previously used supernil-whacker hybrids from FMI and loved the hell out of em. my only complaint would be the round windings on the supernil E and A had too much finger noise when amped.

So far I'm really impressed with them, they have a good tone and reasonable sustain, and they're comfortable to play pizz or slap. I've not played guts so I can't say how they compare, but I'm happy with the SilverSlaps right now.
Cheers,

The D/G tone is almost identical to gut, while E/A sound like what plain gut would sound like if you could actually hear it .. if you know what I mean.
The click sound is minutely harsher than gut... if you really want that thunky sound gut is the only way to go.
Fabulous strings.

| | | | I've been playing them for about two years and I love 'em. They're nice and thunky and you can play for hours with no bloody fingers. |
