Ok fellas, after some weeks using Warwick Red Lable nickles. NICKELS, not the normal stainless steels, on both Infinity SN 5 and Streamer LX4, I could say that I´m pretty happy with them.
Main impressions:
-Feel: Compared to the stainless steel Red Label this nickels feel nice on the fingers, I remember the steels felt like sandpaper.
-Tension: Nothing to complain here, I mean, they have normal tension I guess.
-Sound: TBH, I thought those string were going to be dead in few days. For my surpise, after 5 weeks, 3 rehearsals and 5 gigs (have in mind I have very sweaty hands) they are still sounding with enough bright to not call them "dead strings".
Both sets, 4 and 5, feel balanced, I haven´t notice any "thin" string or something weird. Compared to the Dunlop Super Bright I tried before, this Red Lables aren´t as bright, which is what I expected, but with enough lows and bright to play rock and the LX sounds a little more balanced. Have in mind that my maple-body LX has bright and highs for days. Most of the time prefer less bright strings on it.
Bonus: Check this little clip of a blues song I´m working on, recorded with the Infinity SN5, mild OD from my Sansamp pedal with blend knob at 10 O´clock, and a hint of compression: https://soundcloud.com/nachobassmanperez/blues-8-llevame-al-bar-slow-clip
