Best coated strings
maddinonline 14.02.2014
A few years ago the manufacturer of the first coated bass strings (Elixir) promoted his new product in germany with a give-away campaign. As it was for free, I ordered some. The first few months the strings felt and sounded quite nice, but short time later the coating peeled away. After this experience i never tried coated strings again.
Meanwhile I got a Warwick Streamer, whose typical dark-growling warwick sound in my opinion is supported best by Warwick strings. After a few sets of black label strings i decided to try EMPs. Warwick states that the strings are coated with some new and inconspicuous "enhanced molecular protection" (=EMP), which provides extreme long lifetime.
And they deliver what they promise! I put on the EMP strings in late april 2013 and they still sound great today. Maybe not as bright as in the first few weeks, but still acceptable. The coating is still on and if you don't know they are coated you would not notice that they are.

Great stirngs from Warwick
Janis S. 17.11.2013
Nice strings from Warwic, my only wish could be that there could be more string size options, f.ex. 5th. 130 and 4th. 100. :) Highly suggested!

These are my go to strings
Cookie@StaxBodene 07.03.2023
These are my go to strings, mainly because I play Warwick Stage 2’s.
That said all new strings sound great and mixing it up a bit when there are offers or sales doesn’t hurt and may save you money over time.

That said I always return to EMP’s I like the touch finish and do believe they last longer…. Better to say you get good tone from old one’s.

They are also great New onto a Musicman pre Sabre and HH 5 string Ernie, both which can be a bit bright and unforgiving when fitted with new strings.

Maybe the best coated strings
Anonymous 14.11.2015
Unlike many other coated strings these are stainless steel which is what I prefer.

Pros
- Very bright sounding - almost as non coated stainless steel strings
- .135 b string which brings much needed tightness and punch in the low end
- Tapered low B works good on Warwick bridges

Cons
- the B string came sounding different than other strings, much more dead, but thankfully it was solved with the help of thomann team and now everything is good
- expensive
