it works perfectly

I like the strings that came on my 4005v, so I doubt I'll be changing them any time soon. Great video though, will keep it for future reference. Thanks so much for posting it!

too bad the 4005 isn’t available sans frets for those of us with that particular perversion!

These new D'Addario Tapewounds didn't get me kicked out of the Accordion based band...so I guess they're ok.

If any curiosity, there is no zing string thing during any Colin Moulding wannabee type o' sliding...quiet. They still have a little brightness and are not woody like flats. I'd grab the 4001 with punchy roundwounds if I was pounding anchoring 16th's with a pick.
I like them though. I do think it's good to try things see what fits you. I like having different setups for recording.
