What sets the 98C Alabastro apart?

These bass strings stand out through the use of a silver-plated copper winding over a Nylgut multifilament core—a combination that closely emulates the sound and feel of gut strings while improving on stability and lifespan. Reviews often highlight their unique mellow character compared to brighter sets, as well as the 'give' that responds to dynamics.
