Super Slinky tension question

[phatduckk]

Hey guys ....

I was wondering if the tension between Super Slinky Bass strings and Stainless Steal Super Slinky bass strings were the same?

thx
Arin

Hi Arin,

The Nickel plated Super Slinkys have about 4 pounds more tension then the Stainless
version. We are looking into why this is so.

More info to come...

thx for the info.

i really like the tension on the nikel super slinks .... either way im gonna have to order some of the stainless ones and give em a whirl

Guess I'll try the SS version, too. I prefer the lower-tension strings for note-bending.

Thanks for the info, Derek!

OK BOO - the local store doesnt stock the stainless ... i guess ill have to wait till they get delivered from MF

Stainless

I like the brightness of stainless... but

I was advised by my guitar repair guy to avoid stainless strings because of excessive wear on the fingerboard.

so i finally got the strings from MF ... problem is im sick and they got delivered to work monday. i was tired of waiting so tonight i went to work when everyone else was gone to get my package.

so i came home, cleaned up Joey, strung her up with SSSS's (stainless steal super slinkys - ssss sounds cool), gave her a setup and hot damn im happy. these strings are awesome.

no more DR HiBeams and as a bonus these costs less and my non-ebmm string guilt is over
