Alrighty then.....What the hell, I'm gonna try a set of Gold Optima's. I know: a fool and his money are soon parted. I found a place that'll deliver 'em for around $50 beans. If nothing else, they'll make for good archive photos of the bass for posterity (and for the showcase gallery on the site). If they actually play and sound nice, and don't wreck my frets, that'll be a good bonus. I'll keep the Alembic faithful informed as I learn more about these strings forged from unobtainium, LOL!

Hey Guys
 
I think I actually played a set of these that was on an Alembic Orion in a music store. I didn't know what they were but thought they sounded great since I knew the bass was used and they felt good to me as well. I had never seen a gold string before and they also looked pretty cool as well.

We'll see. At least they'll look cool in photos, LOL!

Just got 'em today....they look super cool. I'll beat up my stock Alembic strings a little more, then I 'll put these on and see what I think. Keep tuned to this same Bat Channel: Holy Canoli, Batman, those strings are GOLDEN, LOL!
