Just tried DRs last night for the first time. Not blown away by the feel. |

D'Addario. I've only tried one set of DR's, the ones with the coating on them. Didn't like them at all. |

DR for taper cores. D'Addario for other applications |

Neither for me anymore, as I'm happy with Elixirs, but I did play D'Addario XL165s for years and still like them. |

DRs by far. But I am not a brand loyalist. I have 2 basses that have D'Addarios on them. One is strung piccolo and I think the D'Addarios are good for that one. The other is my 5 string that has XLs and I'm not too happy with them so the 'string quest' will continue. I am a beliver that each bass has a certain type string that brings out its particular "voice" to the fullest. I tend to go through several Brands/types of strings with a new bass until I find "the one" and then I stay with it. With 9 basses I wish I could be satisfied with some budget string for all of them....oh well. |

I like D'Addario Chromes on my J, Labella Jamersons on my P, and TIs on my Tele bass. |

Big fan of the D'Addario Half wounds, by far my favorite string, long life, with a ground outer wrap, they don't pick up gunge like round wounds yet still have some zing unlike full chromes. |
