What brands stay brightest the longest?

So far these Pro Steels are staying bright for a long time. They have bright to give. Their dull is bright. Damn, love these things.

If you can kill strings in 30 minutes it means you've got acidic sweat. Coated strings are the answer. DR's sound the best to me.

I can't speak to the longevity yet, but I just put a set of EXP's on my Toby Pro-5. I was hesitant about using coated strings because I had tried Elixirs on my acoustic guitar and I hated the plastic feel. But the way the EXP's are coated that don't have the plastickiness of Elixirs. They sound bright and growly and when I replace them it will likely be with another set. I like them.

Every set of DR's I've had have stayed nice and bright for a while. ghs boomers are also pretty good, but I prefer DR's.

STAY AWAY FROM CLEARTONE BASS STRINGS
dead in a week from 30 min a day playing. even after intense cleaning.

ELIXIR is awesome
