It looks likes no one so far would give you a nickel for stainless steel strings.  |

I guess I'm the odd man out here. I've used nothing but the stainless, and really like them. However, I've never tried the nickel.. Maybe I should!!!

....nickel for me as well...just a personal preference...no reflection on anyone else at all.
My 2 cents, YMMV. |

I actually used stainless for years. The Live Steel Strings stainless string are so fresh, they are almost too bright. It takes a while for them to settle in. But, in the band I am in now, I am right next to the bass player and my steel tone kind of gets lost in the mixture of bass and steel. I may try stainless to see if I can cut through better.

| richard, i've had that problem before too and in a couple bands i finally just had to move to the other side of the stage to get away from the bass. |

That's not an option Chris. Lead guitar/keyboard player uses up the other side of the stage.

I used the Nickel for years but I like the brightness of stainless which I use most of the time now.RS

I went from Live Steel Nickel strings to Jagwire Stainless.
On my JCH the Jagwires sound much nicer. Even the unwound strings.
