I would not know the difference. Simply throwing a dart for fun.
Noting the Mozer sets seem to have really cool cover art. Now I’m interested. Other than TI, I look at strings as consumable.

Russian bass strings. Any experience to share?

The cover art is pretty cool. That's why I'm not even mad at the strings being too long for my bass. I have 2 sets of strings I just keep around as art pieces because I like the cover art.
They might be great. Nobody here knows. Wire doesn’t care where it’s drawn or who winds it.
I'm perfectly happy to consume various strings, for the sake of trial and experimentation in the field of bass guitar arts and sciences... vicariously, through you, of course. Thank you for your service.
How is that possible in the middle of an invasion when innocent people are being slaughtered?
Outside of aerospace, in what industries is Russia a leader in? I'd be shocked if these are as good as anything made in the US or Europe.
you've never played Soviet strings if you say like this. wire and factory that's good for barbed wire is not good for musicians.
when cheapest D'Addario sets started to get in ex-USSR countries, all the players here were like: wow, how much difference!
Because Russia is a huge country with millions of innocent people of thier own just trying to do the best they can for thier families just like we are here. And don't get everyone started on everything else going on in the world. This is about bass and music and musical kinship. Not partisan politics my man.
aerospace engines for Russia were actually produced in Ukraine. not anymore, so future of Russia in aerospace is also, uhm, not bright.
So many strings from so many other countries.
Tubes for my amps and pedals. Battery/Power Storage. Microprocessors. Semiconductors. My grandma Sylvia.
Between this comment and your avatar, is there any topic you're NOT self-righteous about?
okay, name just one microprocessor that's currently made in Russia. there isn't any.
Those strings are good for special musical operations.
Elbrus. They're not that great, but to be honest, there aren't many (or any) processors for PC applications that can compare to the likes of AMD and Intel (and now Apple). (I hope Europe really gets their poopie together).
List of Russian microprocessors - Wikipedia
At least some of them may have problems though: Russian-Made Elbrus CPUs Fail Trials, 'A Completely Unacceptable Platform'
guys, nor Elbrus, nor Baikal ever was made in Russia despite the marketing. they were always made by TSMC (Taiwan Semiconductors) as Russia doesn't have a single factory to produce something that modern.
now with the sanctions Russia cannot even order them anymore.
I think Russia was at some point a well regarded producer of titanium in sheet, plate, pipe and tube forms.
