Daddario ECB81-5

Great sounding and feeling chords with plenty of excess length to fit onto my long scale.

Use 'em on a fretless fivestring, played them for a few months now, still very happy.

Stainless, so they stay very clean (looking and sounding). But once they become too caked, they can be boiled for cleaning purposes without loss of quality.

The better class of strings.

Update 26.06.2017:

Played them every day for over half a year now. Still sounding fresh and crystal clear. Hardly need to ever tune 'em: some days not at all, some days a tiny bit. And that's even considered they're being slightly abused, after the preamp on my pickup went bad, so i need twice the force to reach the same sound level. Based on that, i expect these strings to give me a pretty impressive lifespan.

So, also if you have an aggressive playing technique, these may well be for you.
