[Johnny Layton]

I've only tried the Dominants on my own bass, and I liked them very much...a great pizz and arco string. They are too high tension for my tastes, though, and so I haven't used them long enough to confirm or refute rumors that they lose most of their brightness after only a couple of months (something that I liked quite a bit and still sounded very good with the bow to me).

I've tried Obligatos a little on other people's basses and don't dislike them, but I like the Dominants better for their sustain and brightness...however, I'm not a big fan of gut strings or old school sound, despite the lower tension.
