Alembic Basses & Guitars / Re: Optima 24K Bass Strings?

I'll be watching this thread as I have been considering trying them but the cost makes it hard to justify without having good reviews to give confidence in buying them.

FWIW, I often use Optima Gold and Optima Maxiflex Gold guitar strings.  Other than the cost, I love them.  And they seem to last longer than the GHS Boomers I also use.

THanks. Any issues with them going dead fast? They won't be played much on the one they are going onto.

Hi Carl,
I used them for quite some time with my former WHO tribute band. 
They sound great, but are rather expensive and they wear out very quick. 
I am more satisfied with Rotos RS66LD which JE also used and which keep
the piano sound quite longer than the Maxima/Optimas.
Just my opinion.

Thanks. I love the Roto strings but for this project, I wanted to do gold. :-)

Clicking on the profile leads to a page that says "Account Disabled. This account is not available at the moment." Glad it was reported.
