A decent string set

Anonymous 14.03.2017

As someone who plays mainly indie/rock music I bought these strings to accompany an upgraded Harley Benton bass with Seymour Duncan Quarter Pounders, and a Warwick bridge.

Pros:
-These strings are incredibly easy to play, the light gauge really make bass feel like less of a chore, if that helps as a description.
-These strings stayed fresh for a solid 2 months before I had to replace them.
-They really have that 'fresh' string sound.

Cons:
-The lighter gauge sometimes makes them feel too weak and floppy, and I found myself often clipping from picking too hard as I was used to a heavier gauge.

All in all I found this set satisfactory, and though I found out I prefer regular gauge, these would definitely suit someone who's finding the thickness of a bass string too much.

Great strings from D'addario as usual

Random User 11.11.2021

I am a lifelong fan of D'addario strings, their strings are fantastic and these were no exception. They feel and sound amazing. I have bought them for my jazz bass and the tension feels perfect for me. The sound is just what I was looking for as usual with D'addario strings, bright and punchy with enough bottom end. Definitely would recommend to anyone looking for a nice long scale strings with great feel and sound.

Great tone, cheap, last ages and don't eat up your frets

Anonymous 06.03.2014

I have tried many brands and these are my favourite. The quality versus price ratio is incredible, because they sound warm (but not too much), are easier on the fingers and frets (unlike stainless steel strings) and the lower price allows me to change them more frequently for when I'm playing out more regularly.
