Pros:
|
Sound, and playability.
|
|
Cons:
|
Feel.
|
|
Although I posted feel as a con, these are actually smoother feeling than most stainless strings out there. As for sound they are bright, tight, and punchy. The E string sounds much better than the E string on the Nickel XL's. These sound better than the nickels but the nickles feel better. So what do you want to sacrifice?

|

|

i've gone through a good range of strings in my time. but there was always something missing. not bright enough, dont last long enough, to expensive... you know what i mean!
Thats why i love these strings!
Really bright sound all round, they last long enough and when they do get grubby they're not to expensive!
I'm not gonna be changing strings for a long time!
ohh and the hard on the fingers thing you get use to, and when you do, playing on any nickel strings is soooo easy going! its worth it!

Pros:
|
very fresh, zingy sounding strings
|
|
Cons:
|
a bit rough feel
|
|
I may say that this strings are bestbuy! You'll get the most with the low price (compared to the other strings). They sound great. The tension is a bit lower than on XL's but there is no difference when i comes to fret buzz comparing to XL's. They kind of feel rougher than XL's but really not that much, you can easily get used to that feel which i like. I've never had problems with not being able to play something because of rougher texture. Slap sound is amazing, punchy and zingy. The only problem is that they are louder when you move your hand across them, like slides or going to the higher position but that really isn't big problem. D'addario strings are the best when it comes to price and what you get for it. After using this strings I'll get back to XL's which will then probably feel slicky.

Pros:
|
Brightest string ever made
|
|
Cons:
|
Brittle tone, lacking B string
|
|
All I can say about this string is:
You will not find a brighter string. Ever.
B string lacks punch.
I prefer DR Hi Beams or Sadowsky Stainless Steel for a stainless string.
