Maxima nickel flats (med. scale) vs. Ernie Ball Group IV stainless flats (long scale) vs. Ernie Ball Cobalt flats (long scale) vs. Rotosound SM66 Stainless rounds (long scale).
Just playing around the neck so you can hear how the strings sound all over the neck. Fingers first, then Herco grey pick (heavy).
Which do you like best? Pardon my sloppy playing and rattly bass.
I think the Maximas are the best sounding except for the low E which seems to totally dull compared to the clear A/D/G strings of the set. if any Maxima users are here, is that how the Low E is supposed to sound on the Maxima set? If that low E was as clear as the A,D,and G strings in that set then it would be the finest stringiest I ever heard on the Starfire. Very smooth to the touch. Luscious lows and enough high end for clarity. Enjoy!
PS-I think from now on I would like to only use Medium scale strings so as not to have bare wire wrapped on the E and G tuning posts.
I will add a track for Rotosound 77 Jazz Monel flats medium scale next after they arrive.
