I save a set of these strings when I try another set of trebles. I like the thickness of them and changed back to them a lot by thickness alone. They have a warm mellow tone and may not be as responsive as carbon strings, but for me I don't like the feel of thin carbon trebles. They also last a long time and I can leave them on and just change the basses. I like to experiment alot but I always seem to come back to the Titanium trebles.
