Coated slinkys?

[mobass]

I sweat a lot and kill a set of slinky bass strings in 3 weeks. I'm thinking of trying coated slinkys. Any thoughts on them?

I love them. In terms of tone and feel, they are almost identical to normal slinkys but the Coateds last significantly longer. I read somewhere that somebody said 5-7 times longer? I think that's about right!

Thanks for the reply. I'll give them a try!
