Stellar clarity, pitch and tone.
Lows are low and resonant and clean, mids and highs are penetrating and clear. None.

The BB114 strings consistently have great tone and a long life to them. They are a bit pricey, but I feel I get my money's worth out of each set. I know using a 14 as a high e strings and 18 as a b sounds like it would be too thick to handle comfortably, but I really like the pick response to these strings. They're easy to play.
I play a Buscarino Artisan, and they match the instrument perfectly. I've found the right string for jazz.

those strings are good, except for the G strings, 022, which become rusty more quickly than the others.

I recommend Thomastik Infeld add an extra "g" each set.

At a high price, we would like to have high quality.

Kindest regards.

String Review
April 10, 2010
Wonderful sounding strings. I play rhythm guitar in a Big Band and these really do the job. My Only complaint is that the G-string (.022) wares-out quite fast i.e. windings come loose. I solve this by getting an extra G with each order. It would be really cool if Thomastik-Infeld would include an extra G with each set perhaps at 1/2 the single string price added on to the set versus having to pay full price for the weak string of the set. I will however, continue to use these strings because NO OTHER strings sound this good!!!

These are high quality strings, with a wonderfully softened edge, altering the harshness usually found in round wound strings.
