  • Affordable, B, E, not so bright
I am a pro musician and do my own studio songs and post them on SoundCloud. I have received a 5 string bass as a gift. LTD B205. I bought these as a test to see if I liked the guage. I like the guage, however like alot of string manufacturers brands, the E and B strings are not as bright as the rest of the strings and lose brightness. I'm a life long Rotosound swing bass player. I also like Elixir and Ken Smith strings. I bought a set of Ken Smith which are expensive and waiting their arrival. I will submit my review on those soon. ... show more

  • My Go-to
I've been using these strings for many years now. Great for Heavy Metal/Thrash music. I play with my fingers and they get such a nice rich bright tone with these, and they last forever! I couldn't imagine using any other strings.

with every letter =D i dare say it might even be TOO 'trebbly' for ur taste. lots of string talk, lots of rattle, ur mistakes Will show.. I LOVE IT! the ONLY con in My opinion is the roughness. it's quite hard on the fingers (we're talkin Pure stainless steel here! no nickel coating... which also means more magnetism/gain), bleh, nuthin that some string lubricant can't solve :) cheers rock on wit these l..l, ... show more

  • New favorite strings
Started off a little bright but has mellowed just enough to sound clear but not harsh. Will definitely purchase again when these wear out.
