I dont get cut finger with it - but very tired fingers certainly
I only started with it again last year having not played for for nearly 20 years. Went competely mad last year actually and got back into guitar as well with a Line 6 variax modelling job - now that gives does you tortured fingers
I put medium elixir nano web strings on the bass - quite heavy, nice smooth tone, but with the coating on the strings make it very easy to do slides etc. Down side ive dicovered is that they aint as easy to fret as uncounted strings - tend to be a little but slippy
