Bass players from around the world have sought strings that provide nothing but the purest in tone as well as strings that can hold up to the elements and abuse. Instead, many bass players have found themselves put off by coated strings because they impede upon the tone they've worked so hard to build. Not to mention, bass strings are expensive and replacing them frequently can wreak havoc on one's wallet.
