Kerly Music Strings??

I've been using these strings for a couple of years now on my fretless. They last forever. I use DR Hi Beams on my fretted bass and change out the strings every couple of months (I play that bass about 40% of the time). The Kerly's on my fretless get changed every 3-4 months. The tone of the strings changes so imperceptibly over time that the only way I know to change them is when I have trouble getting them in tune! Did anyone mention they are easy on the fingers too?

I've been using my 5 string set of Kerly strings for more than a year. Played 30 something shows, 60 or more band practices and countless hours of self practicing. I don't take care of my strings and they sound almost as amazing as they did the day I put them on my bass. They are awesome!
 
I saw them for the first time on ebay. One add was for £30 GBP whereas when i looked about for other retailers rather than ebay I found same product for £14.69 GBP.
After a read of a few reviews i thought for this price ill try them. Let you know how they go. Just burnt my tea (thats forums for you) thanks :drool::drool:

I think the ads with massively varying prices is another click-bait ploy that i knew i was going for. More of a purpose to see if they lived up to £22.00 (G.B.P.) I got them at 14 just wanted to gague the discrepency. Havn't had chance to put them on one of my best basses for trying but need to find where i put all my cleaning gear / lemon oil (badly needed) and switch cleaners etc. Will post a rating on these strings probably months after there fate has been decided!! Theyre distrubuted by Chase a Sikh business with cheap prices.
