Daddario EXL220

All my bass playing life I have used medium-heavy string gauges. I liked the fatness of the sound that they give and how they feel under my fingers. The gauge of these strings is among the lightest you can get here on Thomann so I said why not give them a shot and see how I like them. I am glad I did.

The strings are so swift and easy to play compared to what I'm used to, that I wished I had used light gauges all along. I was afraid they would sound too 'twangy' - they do sound twangy but not in a bad way. I put these on my Jaguar and popping/playing the strings hard gives a really nice snappy sound. The higher frets seem a lot less sharp sounding than they used to, and my ability to bend has improved a lot.

I have since used other brands at this gauge to compare and the Daddario's seem to be light and easy to play without losing out on any fatness
