To answer some questions - the samples were recorded on a Big Al using the middle pickup in passive mode.
The EB coated strings will not fray from extensive picking like that other brand - they are built differently. The others - "brand X" are coated after the string is wound so you have coating over the entire string. It eventually frays, but at least it kills your tone in the mean time
I find the EB coated strings are almost identical to the non-coated, just a little warmer. Kind of like where a set of nickels end up after a couple of days, except they stay that way for a long time.
Hmmm...this is interesting. A warmer roundwound. This could just be the thing I am looking for. How is the finger noise compared to uncoated rounds? Is it quieter?
