| After all the hype these were receiving at rab.com, I had to give them a go -- could a $10 set of strings really rival gut?
After trying them, the answer - in my mind - is no. I tried Magnum Gatorline (which is essentially nylon with a Kevlar core -- same as Jack Lynch strings). Yes, the tension was low and they were very easy to slap, but the tone makes Supernils sound like the holy grail. Yeah, they nailed the dark, no-sustain thing, but the actual tone was very poor. "Rubber bands" came to mind.
I tried them on an Engelhardt and my Shen SB100. The Shens seem to prefer a little more tension, and the Magnum E might as well had not been on the bass. NO SOUND. They worked a little better on the Engel, but again, the tone left quite a bit to be desired.
For guys always playing amped, you can get away with them. Seems that most of the folks using these aren't too concerned with exceptionally clear, uncolored sound - they utilize EQ to help eek more tone out of these.
You may find the 7710s to be acceptable, but keep in mind that they're still steel strings with a smooth nylon wrap. Other options would include Eurosonics, Innovation Rockabillys or plain gut. Supernils are also low-tension, but have round nylon and silver windings which might bother your hands. While the Jack Lynch strings are cheap (and buying the trimmer line yourself is even cheaper), I really don't think you'll be satisfied with the tone or volume. |
