More than serviceable!
I'd give an overall 4.5-star rating if possible, accounting for the price!
Having some experience with other string brands, these HB HQS for Bass sound really good. Since they're flatwounds, it's harder to get a sense of their performance (since roundwounds are more abundant). Nonetheless, let me put it this way: if you're either a beginner or a seasoned pro that uses them in their backup/pratice ax, these strings are "overqualified" for the job.

They are OK.
I put a 5 string set on my fretless and they felt thick while installing, so I mic'd out the set. All the sizes were accurate except the B string which mic'd at 131 and it was a dead string. All the others sounded pretty good and had a song to them. The B string just went thud. So I took them off and went back to round wounds. I may reinstall the E-G on a 4 string, but I dont own one. All 9 basses are 5 or 6 string, even the P/J and Sting Ray H/B's.

Reasonably good replacement
I used these to replace the strings on my mid-priced fretless 5-string. It's the first time I've changed the strings on this bass. These strings sound and feel better than the strings that originally came with the bass!

Good for a 4 string bass
The 5th string (B) does not sound well
