Another thumbs up for EB Slinkys!

[HornetAMX]

I recently put a fresh set of neon green Slinkys on my SR5 for the 2 gigs we had this weekend. I must say that these are the only strings I will be using from now on. I was formerly a R*tos*und user for many years. Can anyone tell me if these are nickel or stainless? I really love these strings. The low B was nothing but thunder on that bass. These were also my first gigs back on a 5 string in nearly 8 years and I won't be going back to the 4 string. The SR5 is an amazing bass and I'm very fortunate to own one from June of '89.

I love Slinkys, too! Yep, they are indeed nickel strings. EB does make some stainless Slinkys, but they aren't in the brightly colored packages.

Yep, those "Regular" Slinky 5's in the bright green package are a very good match for the SR5. Perfect tension and great tone that lasts.Pretty much all i've used on my SR5 for almost 5 years.

Hey I'm still singing the Slinky song, except mine come in that sweet pink package.

I would love a pink super slinky t-shirt

I will also sing the Slinky song - I'm loving mine on my Sterling

Are Slinkys the strings that come installed on all new Stingray 5ers?? If so what color packaging??

+1 on the Slinky love...

This Friday is my Bongo's first birthday, and it'll get a nice, minty-fresh set of Regular Slinkys just like the ones it came with to celebrate.

I did have a set of TI Superalloys on there just because I had them handy, but they're no better than good old Slinkys...they just cost twice as much. It's EBMM from here on out!

 

[agplate]

Yes, Pink on SR4, Green on SR5...

and yes, I'm a boiler (one time only)!

I just love the feel of the strings. I've never had luck with nickel strings before either as they always seem to go dead after a few gigs. These strings sound and feel great. I don't know what took me so long to try them!

Hey Robert, once they go dead, they sound a lot like flats, too.

Win/win!

How about a blue one?

 

[prickly_pete]

I love them. I have been really digging the hybrids as of late. We need a 5 string hybrid set... BP?

 

[lamerjay]

I just love the feel of the strings.

Couldn't agree more. They feel better than any string I have ever played...

Been using Slinkys on ALL of my basses since my first MM purchase a li'l over 2 years ago.
