right! whoops. thanks for the correction... all the same, though.
i prefer some ring to the strings as well as that deep, chocolate tone. when my permanents needed changing they seemed to have a "woody" tone which i'm not necessarily saying that's what happened in auditions... i wasn't there, but that's the rumor i was joking about from the talkbass forums.
regardless, i think that any string set needs the right person and the right bass. permanents were right for me and i would recommend them.
