Without posting any videos let me give my initial impressions:
1. I am happy with them.
2. They are louder.
3. The feel is nice, maybe a little or a lot more tension.
4. They have settled in rather quickly, three days and carreful installation, with Magnus Sjöquist‘s recommendation that you pull them to approximate pitch before wrapping or tying the knot, trying not to have too much string around the spool. My Kala Ebony fretless came from Sweetwater with way too many rounds about the spool.
5. Intonation is great as measured at 12th fret. Is that my ubass or the strings?
6. Hard to compare with Pahoehoe strings because I don’t have those on a copy of my present ubass and my aural memory is only so good.
Do I regret replacing my Pahoehoes? No. Did I love my Pahoehoes? Yes.
Do I think videos give very good illustrations of string sound? No.
Honestly yours,
Kimosabe
