Strings

Is anyone Familiar with a bass string called S.I.T String?? Thinking about giving them a try.

Maybe referring to the SIT Silencers? I've never used them, but it looks like they are similar to GHS Pressurewound or Rotosound 55's:

I guess SIT makes other strings too, not just the Silencers.

S.I.T. is a reputable brand.

I've played a few different kinds. They're fine. Unremarkable. I don't think you'd miss out on anything if you didn't try them.

SIT makes great strings. Their regular Power Wound are similar to any standard nickel like D'Addario XL or EB Slinky's, but their Foundations really stand out. They are a little lower tension and have a nice clear midrange, they are in the DR/Dunlop camp.

As a big fan of GHS Pressurewounds (Alloy 52), I've been curious about SIT Silencers (nickel-plated steel). There have been times I felt the extra responsive, mid-forward character of Alloy 52 wasn't the right thing for certain basses, eg my P-bass. Unfortunately, though, the Silencers don't come in my preferred gauges, ie 40-55-75-95.
