    the sounds nice and crisp, the coating dosent effect tone, and if ur a bass player with little money invest in these strings, ive had a pair on my gretch for about 2 years now i play about 2 -5 hours a day with shows every week, thats a lot of playing, they feel nice and smooth unlike average roundwound strings they also dont shred up your fingers like a grinder,

    These strings aren't very good, in my humble opinion. They are really "sticky": when I stop a note, then oh-so-gingerly remove my finger from the string, it sounds again, no matter what I do! I don't have this problem with almost any brand of regular bass string. They look cool, sure, but they don't play very well.

    Will these work on a 6 string short scale bass?
