I want to hear and feel a head to head A/B comparison of Balanced Nickels against the newly reengineered roundcore Bass Boomers. That'll be a knock down drag out!

I'll get around to it soon enough. I don't think they are available yet.Yes you should!
Put a set of 44-106 BN on Am Special jazz (not mine), the tone sound fuller than current Dunlop Nickel.
For me who prefer fingerstyle is licking with it warmth tone.
But the owner look not happy with it because he still prefer Dunlop Nickel tone.
This 44-106 is feel stiffer compare to PW 44-102 on my Cort Arona IV.

I've been doing some "real" recording with these recently, and just got some finished tracks from the mix engineer.
Wow! What tone! What delectable tone! These may well be the perfect strings for Fender Precision basses, if not for all basses everywhere.

I just put a set of the BN 40-126 On My Ibanez BTB845Sc and what a difference These are much more articulate just clear clean tone and not much finger noise . They sound very punchy and deep but also clear and distinct. They brought this Bass to life.

I just put a set of .106' s on my ash/maple P. Do these loose any high end zing after a few weeks?
Thanks
Thanks
Not sure on the exact time frame, but I have a set on my Precision that have don't have that zing anymore, but still sound fantastic.
Had to make a quick review of my review 
Review: GHS Balanced Nickels 4M-NB
So 10 playing hours to settle in and for the E string to open up and roar.
I've had this set on for not quite 90 days, and I have played the heck out 'em. 
They are nowhere near giving up the ghost as many roundwounds already would have, so I'm not changing them out yet. In fact they still sound superb. I am going to wring this set out until they are totally and completely dead. I have a fresh set in reserve that will go on straight away.
