I saw somebody with these strings and had to get a set for my Jazz Bass - what's bad? The top G is just a little dull compared to the twangy sound of the other 4 strings - the bottom B sounds nice too. I play high up the neck using the B string a lot, and the tone works well. The top string I don;t mind being a bit dull - because I'm a more at the bottom player - and don't play high stuff hardly ever!
The strings are bright in ordinary light but in LED stage light the colours just pop out. The strings are coated which gives them the UV coating, but a word of warning - the fit through the bridge holes means you have to be careful - I scratched the B string because with the coating on, it's a tad bigger than my usual string gauge - so I have a little scratched off bit up near the 1st fret. My fault should have been more careful. However - I really love them, and people always comment!
