Sorry for the all caps, but man, I really love these. Just put a set on my jazz bass and god these strings makes me get the EXACT same tone I was dreaming to get on the Fender. It is the 5th set of 5 different companies I try, and they are by far my favourite. The last set was DR hi beam which I really liked, but I friggin' fell in love with the EMP's.

I do not want to brag but...... I told you ;)

they are awesome.


about the roughness on latter posts on this thread they are waaaay softer than Rotosounds and I have no way to tell the difference between the Black labels and EMPS in sound or feel.

For purchase of EMP's BL's, RL's stateside, why not check out RocketMusic!?

(I know you're not in the 'States man, just thought I'd plug a fellow forumer's shop :D)

I live 20 miles north of Boston...last time I check we were still part of the union!;)
 
I love the tone of the EMP's, they just murder my fingers though.
 
If anyone in the UK wants to buy a couple of sets of EMPs, I have 2 sets of 45-105 for sale! ;)

Not my bag as I prefer Nickels.
 
As a recent convert to EMP's after a dissapointing 1st try, i love 'em! I used to use red labels, which are still a good string, but tha EMP's life is superior (obviously!) I get 3-4 X more life out of these & have had a set on my thumb bass since late november & after nearly 20 gigs are just losing their 'zing'.
How much do you want for the strings warwickhunt? PM me & i'll give them a good home.....
 
I get mine at Sam Ash. You can also get them off of several eBay stores if you want to save a couple bucks and don't mind the wait.
 
I've only just discovered the joy of BLs (I replaced the strings on my 'vette with Elites as soon as I got it - they've been my string of choice for nearly 20 years).

I'd like to try EMPs next, but how do they stand up to plectrums? A set of Elixirs a friend got me to try went "fluffy" within weeks.
 
It's not that kind of coating - you can't see it or feel it. it's in fact more a chemical than a physical coating, as far as i remember. (some molecular thing)
So a plec shoudn't do any harm to it.

I've been playing EMPs for like 2-3 years now and I still love them. Only need like 2 sets a year instead of 4 with the BLs.
