Power slinkys

[marshmellomann]

Ok we've covered this a while ago but it's later in the year and i was wondering if anyone has used power slinkys for there ray five or whatever they have, and if so are they better then regular slinkys?

Power slinkys are different gauges for five and four strings. 5 string power slinkys have a 0.050 G, 4 strings have a 0.055 G.

I have power slinkies on my 4 string Stingray. I like them in terms of sound, but I'm going to go with something else next time. I find they're inhibiting my playing slightly because they have a bit too much tension.

They'll build your fingers up if you keep them on your bass......my spector has pretty heavy strings on and I learned to play with them, no matter howm uch it hurt.
