ELIXER Re: strings

[Kriist@aol.com]

my friend swears by elixers , particularly on his fretless bass(what i 
play 
in his band)and on his acoustics
ive putting together a metal fretboard fretless guitar, and am seriously 
considering elixers for it(since ive fallen in love with them on fretless 
bass)
my question:
are they as bright as regular strings?(the wound ones that is)
my friend loves them on bass because their "smoother"
as in, not as bright

a
 string. they're expensive, but i think they last longer and are definitely
 stronger. also use them on my acoustic guitars (10's again) and they 
really
 hold up (both 6 & 1q2 string guitars). and i use some odd tunings.
