  • My preferred strings for guitar and bass
Size: 4-String Style: 2675 - Blue Steel Bass XM
I personally love these strings and have been using them for about 30 years. I like them for guitar and bass. I am usually using drop D or C tuning so I prefer the heaviest gauge versions available (drop D or heavy for guitar and extra medium for bass) and they get great sustain at low tuning (I recently bought a fender meterora bass and the strings that came with it would just flap around, I was so happy after I replaced them with heavier gauge blue steels, it was like a totally different guitar after the change over). For me the these achieve the perfect tone, nice and bright. Strings preference is always a personal choice so I can't say if these are right for everyone. But they are top quality and I rarely have an break while playing and I definitely have never had any break during installation. ... show more

  • I Don't Use Any Other Strings
Size: 4-String Style: 2674 - Blue Steel Bass ML
I tried D'Addarios, RotoSound, Fender, Elixir, Ernie Ball, and possibly one or two others I don't recall. Came across the Dean Markley 'Blue Steels' at a NAMM show years ago; two-sets for the price of one. Stringed my Fender 'P', let the neck settle in, tuned, set-up, and played through an SWR-400 w/4.1x10 Hartke. Punchy, but not too bright or tinny. Low-end, sustain and slightly growling or staccato. With proper care, I have played on these strings through two-months of rehearsals, and first half of a three week run. They can be a little difficult to find at the music stores... ordered two-sets for pick-up at Amazon 'Hub'. Won't make that mistake again. ... show more

  • Best round wound bass strings
I had never used these strings before, but they were recommended to me. Fabulous tone, resonance, sustain... They made the guitar sound better than it ever has.

These strings are AWESOME!!!! If my bass didn't have these strings on it, I'd probably set it on fire! It's not even worth playing without THESE STRINGS!!!! If you're not using Dean Markley Blue Steels, you're obviously a complete amateur poser with no life and no future!!!! I can't believe you even bother wasting the planet's air if you don't have Dean Markley Blue Steel Strings!!!! Punch yourself in the face right now if you don't immediately install Dean Markley Blue Steel Strings!!!! Just stop being a musician!!!! Even if you play the tuba, you should have Dean Markley Blue Steel Strings on it!!!! Get some for your Stradivarius! Put a set on your banjo! If you don't play anything, get something and put Dean Markley Blue Steel Strings on it, QUICK!!!! Before it's too late!!!! Just kidding, but they are really good strings. Nice bright tone, no duds. With proper care, they last a pretty good while, too. Great value, even though you can find less expensive strings. Sometimes you get what you pay for, right? ... show more

  • MTD Bass
Size: 5-String Style: 2679 - Blue Steel Bass ML
Very good evenly balanced strings with a chimey top, and a good solid center to it. Growls nicely on an MTD five with rosewood board and maple over ash top. They settle-in to a really good sound after 2 weeks but since I like new strings, I change them about every month or less. They are round core so they give a bit and are more flexible than pro steels which are hex core. Ive tried many types and I always come back to these Blue steels for my MTD because they just have such a great warm but solid sound. They can sound aggressive or warm depending on EQ. They are much richer than nickel strings because they have so much more harmonic content. You can really hear the complex over tones on certain notes, especially when new. Nickel strings have a stronger fundamental with less overtones and sound a bit rubbery. These will definitely sound cleaner and brighter. Great for Pop, Rock, Funk, Praise n worship, Urban Gospel sound, but I would go with nickel if I were playing Jazz exclusively. ... show more

  • my go to string
Size: 4-String Style: 2674 - Blue Steel Bass ML
I have used these for decades for 4 and 5 string basses but they are getting a bit sparse. I hope they don't get phased out. I love the full tone, balance, and richness in both high and bottom notes, especially for live stage work. They have always been consistent. Never had one break or unwind....ever. ... show more

  • the best
Size: 4-String Style: 2674 - Blue Steel Bass ML
These are my absolute favorite strings. Such a good sound and they last quite a while. Everyone in my band loves my bass sound and I know the strings are part of that. I'm a growing musician and it is almost time for endorsements. My only choice in strings will be these blue steels from Dean Markley. I've been using them for about 19 months. The medium light are my favorite guage. They're even my favorite strings for guitar also. I've been playing bass for over ten years and I've used all kinds of strings. Blue steel is superior to most. Buy some, try them out, and see if you want to use something else. Unless you have to have coated strings, these are the bees knees. ... show more
