Gabriel Tenorio Strings?!!

That sounds pretty good to me. I've been hoping somebody would do a real set of copperwounds again. I used to have a set on my Ripper - which loves having a lot of mids and some 'glass' to work with. These sound a lot like how the old set I had came across when I played them. That unusual sound quality they had actually got me some work.
Oh well…there goes some more money. I just ordered a set.
Thanks for all your feedback on these. You sound like your playing style and tonal preferences run very close to mine. (I even suck at slap too!
)
If you like them than they're worth it. I've paid more for TI jazz rounds. Enjoy them.
i thought they felt a bit sticky at first, but that slight resistance faded quickly.
thanks, Cap! i still favor the feel of TI JR344's over the Coppers, but the sound of these may trump the TI Power Bass set i have on my pbass. gonna swap them later today.
I really like the old daddario exp reds but didn't like the coating or the high (for me) tension. Maybe I'll give these a shot some day if they're available super light.

i think you'll love them and i'm hoping they have longevity because that sound is very distinct. i noticed their sound quality immediately! that mid punch & clarity was abundant!
the tension was interesting in that when i dug in there wasn't as much resistance as one might expect. i have a feeling they may settle with time. i'll update this thread as i learn.
i'm sure this guy can make you any gauge which is cool. his website only shows 4-string sets, but a call or email will get you what you really want with your color choices for the silk wrap.
