All this action while I was sleeping 
I think I'm going to change all my watches to ETZ. 
Since it seems that all the nickels are gone, I'll order a few sets when my Sadowsky fretless is delivered.
Guys, keep us posted about your impressions, especially compared to the black labels. I already love the feel and tone of these.

Not to derail, but aren't D'Add XL's a Hex Core string?
FWIW, I think one of the things that make Sadowsky strings so good are the hex core, the stiffness, if you will.. Which gives it a seriously clear sound down to the B string.

The general differences is that one comes in a Blue package and the other comes in a Black package.

Most informative post of the month.
Thanks Nino
...ah! and Roger, thanks for your generous offer to the forum.
This doesn't surprise me in the least. Matching the string to the bass is important, IME. I don't have an overall favorite string. Any favorites I have are specific to a particular bass!
Can anyone tell me if the Blue label is available in Extra Long to fit a 35" scale bass?
Thanks...
Thanks...
Man, I love Roger.....ask him what the difference is between his two string series, and he doesn't make ridiculous and outrageous claims about construction methods--he doesn't say which star bassist prefers which set---no--he gives away 10 free sets. Haha.
Hmm....that gives me an idea.......Roger, what's the differnce between the rosewood and maple necked metros? I will email my address where I want the bass shipped...
No? Didn't work? Worth a shot.

OK guys, I have 10 worthy bassists who will receive strings. Responders who did not include an address or tell me if they wanted nickel or silver were disqualified.
BTW: The Blue Label strings are not available yet in XL length for 35" scale basses. So if you did write me and need XL's, please let me know as I do not have any.
Look forward to reading your reviews.

Roger, would you mind listing the TB'ers who are getting the strings? I never got an email back from you, so I don't know if I'm one of the lucky ones or not.
Also, will the standard length Blue Label strings that you have fit a 34.5" scale fiver? That is the scale of the bass I was hoping to try these strings on.
