Thumbs up Whew...

That was fast. The Strings came today straight from Germany. I must say that these are the prettiest Strings I have seen in awhile. Ruby and White twist at the end by the tailpiece. I guess I will need a shot of this..lol

They are much lighter in feel and slightly thinner in gauge than the Flexocors and have the same color Ruby at the TP but with white in the middle. I don't know what the relation is to Flex's if at all.

They are much brighter so far but then again, the others were over 2 years old on the Bass. They Bow fine and play easier with both hands than Flex's. As soon as the edge wears off and they settle in, I will report back on the tone. For now, a new string on a Bass I hardly use is too soon to judge.
