The OG Nylgut with the steel wound bass string sound great and I haven't found anything better, but holy hell are they annoying to break in. Don't think you can change your strings a couple hours before a jam. I'll usually stretch them out before stringing them, then tune a couple steps above my target tuning or just to A if it's on my Goodtime, then leave it on the stand for the night before even trying to play.

They’re worth it, but yeah.
