From D'Addario:
Zyex synthetic core strings produce an extremely warm, rich sound. Zyex strings are made from a new generation of synthetic material, creating strings that are incredibly stable under drastic climatic conditions. Settling in on the instrument within a matter of hours, Zyex bass strings provide rich, gut-like, complex tone, combined with power and clarity for both pizzicato and bowing. Zyex bass strings were developed primarily to offer outstanding pizzicato attacks and sustain, as well as superb bowing response. Get the sound and feel of gut strings with more evenness, projection and stability than real gut.
Our Take:
So many string companies have tried to create a string that sounds and feels like a gut string, but is made from synthesized materials. With Zyex, D'Addario has created a string with a softer feel with a mix of warm core sound and a brilliant growl. While they don't entirely sound like gut strings, they are a fun string to play.
If you're a fan of Evah Pirazzi, but don't want to pay as much, then the Zyex is your string.
