I see that all the reviews are 5 stars but every review is older than new edition of these strings.
I ordered two sets recently thinking that it will be good old Elixir sound that we all love. But, I was so wrong. First set that I tried felt good in hand and when played unpluged, dry bass sound, it was OK but something was off, I could not tell what.
On the first gig I got the answer. The sound was so muddy that PA guy could not deal with it. He had to cut all the mid frequences as much as he could and it was still muddy. All of the Elixirs zing and warmth and punch was no where to be found. It sounds like the hex core of the string is welded down with the round windings. Totaly unusable sound.
I rushed for the second set of strings to change ih as fast as I could… and it was the same story.
I ended up playend that gig only through my GK amp, no PA at all, because only like that I could get somewhat usable sound.
Now I dont know what to do… what to buy next.
