The funny thing is how I have heard people talk about how the Savarez bases lose tone after only a few days, but for me they don't. I say this is funny because I have trouble at times with my hands sweating and killing strings with in a day or two. I had a set of red cards from some time back that I never had used, and I killed the bases on my D'Addario J46 composites, so I put on the bases from the Savarez set. I got a longer life out of them than I do the D'Addario 45's or 46's. Everyone I know gets a longer life out of D'Addario bases than me. Think I may start trying mixed sets from Strings By Mail, with the 45's or 46's on the treble and the Savarez HT for the base. Maybe I should go back and give their carbons a try again as well. Though the last time I went back and re-tried strings I found they were worse the 2nd time around. They were the Labella 2001's, and then the Labella 820's. My nails tare the 2001's up quickly, and the 820's just don't work out at all for me. Its strange, when I still played a lot of classical I liked the 2001's, they don't hold up for me though in flamenco. I never have tried the Labella rectified nylons, so can't speak on them. It seems that I can't get as bright of a sound out of rectified nylons, and I'm all about brightness, so that's why I never gave the Labella a try.
