the sound is way too metallic

McKind 24.04.2022

I thought that this was because they were new, but after a month, this is still the case.
I have always used Warwick yellow label (also Nickel) and one could say that those are pretty dull strings, but on my Jazz bass they used to sound great, very rich in trebles with tone set to max or so. Now I need to cut a lot the trebles (read: the knob is set between 1/4 and 1/3) in order to avoid that metallic rattle.

Fairly good strings

Agnor 28.03.2015

Bought these purely for the double pack and that I've never tried D'Addario strings before. Strung up my Jazz bass with these, and was immediately struck by two things: The bright, full sound and the tension. I did really like the sound of these when I first put them on, but found the tension too high for my liking. After about two weeks, the strings didn't have a particularly great sound and I would consider them 'dead', but then I do crave a very bright and twangy sound.

A lot of people do really like these strings, but they're just not for me and they're not exactly breaking the bank.
