They just got some in as we speak. 50s I will have to wait until they get some lighter ones in. Are they making them in extra super slinky 40s?

 

[meeder2]

Still waiting on GC in ATL Ga to get them in to proceed.

Wonder if it´s the exact same bass and the same settings but with different strings in the recordings..... Hard to compare with different instrument even if it´s the same model and wood. And mp3-files too...... But expecially the fingerstyle playing does sound abit more...... mellow/less "alive" when compared to the stainless and the slinky sound clips. But, again, very hard to hear a great different in mp3-files. Will get a set and compare myself.

Yes, they were all recorded on a Sterling By Music Man SB14 (a Sterling). I simply changed strings and used the same settings.

So... are we supposed to get creative, or is this a pure luck contest?

I have ordererd my set already

I really want to know: is this a lottery (a random poster wins), or a sort of contest, like "the coolest pic wins"?

 

[rizzo9247]

Just when I needed to change my strings...ah, who am I kidding, I'm a sucker for promotions.

 

[Grand Wazoo]

Is this competition only open to US Citizens or worldwide?

 

[CElton]

I'm pretty sure Rhode Island will be excluded....

 

[MrMusashi]

MrM

Wonder how much your chances go down if it isn't a MM bass in the pic.

I still have regular factory strings on my Sterling 5, but can someone explain me the difference between those coated strings and the regulars?
I mean, I'm satisfied with OEM built in factory strings at this moment, so why bother?

And the last question, is that competition worldwide?

Edit: OK, I've already found it on the official EB page, it says:

"Ernie Ball’s new coated bass strings offer extended life and great playability. An ultra thin layer of Ernie Ball’s exclusive enamel coating protects the strings and preserves their bright sound, while retaining the natural feel of uncoated strings."

Just answer me please on my last Q!

I waited for Guitar Center to get in coated strings, but they only got in the regular slinkys. So I went on line and ordered a set of super slinkys from a company called Guitar Morgue. They had the same price as GC with free shipping and no sales tax. So I saved a couple of bucks. They also sent a pak of wonder wipes and an Ernie Ball sticker. Now how cool is that? Way cool! Now all I have to do is put them on and take a picture and enter and WIN! If you can't find the EB strings you want locally, give them a try at Guitar Morgue - Instruments To Die For
