I know I am not the only one, but I really don't understand why they are so popular.

My personal experience is that they sound REALLY twangy and I can never get them to last more than a week; usually around a week later, I break a string, almost always the third string (G).

Honestly where I live, for electric, if I want anything other than those in a decent brand, I have to mail order them. They don't even sell crappy brands of bass strings here, only Ernie Ball for bass.

Also, every time I turn around, somebody is trying to convince me to switch and thay they are so much better, almost like a cult; I never have seen anyone do this with any other brand od strings.
