In preperation for the Kdubpalooza show next week I treated my bass to a new set of strings.  The set of DR Strings in the guague I wanted were out of stock all over town, so I thought I'd give DR Strings' Extra Life set a try (they only come in the gauge I like).  They're coated strings so they've got a really thin coating to keep them from getting all gunked up and losing their tone as fast as regular strings.  I don't have acidic persperiation, so I've never bothered with coated strings before.  So why try them out now?  I really wanted to try DR Strings and instead of the usual, boring beige coatings I've seen on strings, DR makes theirs in black, blue, and red.  And what do they label the red set?  "Red Devils".  That was just too fun to not buy.  I also think the red goes well with the koa side panels on my base quite nicely.
