Hello,
I buyed and tried a Silverstein Prelude lig for my Lebayle LRII metal tenor MPC.
There is a lot of hype on those string ligs and I wanted to give it a try.
I didn't liked it. IMO, it makes near to nothing to the response/tone. The sound was a bit darker, but seems to has less core and buzz. It was more spread as only quality, but I didn't liked that. It was in comparison with the Lebayle ring and V16 Optimum ligs, played with Plasticover/ZZ/Ponzol/Legere. Those differences was really really minor, but I liked the results on my old Optimum a bit more, especially added brightness and response/articulation.
Last thing: there is nothing to protect the MPC on the lig's metal part. As you tighten the screw, the lig rotate on the MPC and will leaves pretty shortly finish damages on your MPC.
To me those differences were perhaps 2% of the tone/response, not in a good way, so for 70 € I asked for a refund after testing it three days. BTW Gear4music are excellent: full refund shipping included from France. I didn't lost any money
