Best Bass Strings? 
Please tell me your opinion about your best bass strings you have used and which provide more crispy (buzz) flamenco sound? Which of them are durable?

I really want to find the best results

Thank you!

RE: Best Bass Strings? (in reply to gounaro) 
After ordering every flamenco set of med tension strings at -strings by mail- i ended up liking luthier red set20
just put some on a conde i am testing to buy
and use them regularly on my ramirez
bright, snappy and big bass tones. good projection. last close to a month of daily use. have'nt had one break yet though others have different experience. [this also depends on your hands, have one student who can turn a new set black and dead within a day!!]

this is just MY preference
best to try as many as you can and then go with what works best for you and the guitar

Luthier 20 are the only strings that i haven't use. I have tried Hannabach, D' Addario, Conde, Savarez and in one week basses are dead. I know that every guitar has its strings.

The treble ones have no problem for a month or two, maybe are better when are left on guitar for a long time, but basses are different. I really dont want to change basses every week, that's why i ask your opinions. Thank you for your advice and i really will try Luthier. But i know that other players in here will prefer other brands.

I have read some topics and everyone has his favourites. F

Maybe there are no perfect flamenco strings

true

the luthiers are very similar to the conde string [maybe the same but cheaper??]
