Anyone seen these? Came across them on the Warwick Distribution website.


The description says “Sadowsky Silver Label delivers the renowned sound of the legendary Sadowsky bass strings at an extremely attractive price.”

I wonder how they compare to the Blue and Black Label strings…

I've tried the blue label. I'd like to try the Black label still. The blue label stainless were nice. They seemed to have the nice parts of nickel but with some brightness which is a great in between. I wonder if the silvers will have some nice silver silk like GHS super steel.
 
I never heard of Sadowsky Silver Label strings until I saw them listed as installed on the Metro Express basses. They sound and feel great on my new Metro Express Modern 5! If they're cheaper than the Blue Label strings, which I've used in the past and really liked, I'm buying some more!!!
 
Blue Label strings have a nice reputation. I like them. They seem to feel smoother than most rounds. Plenty of zing but with less audible finger squeek. I like them enough that the grass doesn't look greener elsewhere. Glad I discovered the tapered B-string. I just ordered more sets from Fretnation.
