  • Great Tone & Feel
Color: Original Version
Great strings for the money. Like a working mans. DRs. Solid tone, even, bright and tight. With minor maintenance, wiping with a clean towel after gigs and sessions, these stay clear a long time. Dunlop makes solid products and they are killing it in the string game.

  • From a real Customer!
Color: Original Version
I have to say I am really pleased with the quality and tone of these strings. They also feel smooth under my finger tips and I like them better than D'Addario and Ernie Ball in this price range.

  • This is a Fully Operational Bass Station!
Color: Original Version
Took my inexpensive Hadean 5 string to a whole new level vs. the stock strings. It sounded okay before, but now it sings and growls like a beast. There is more low end depth to the sound, enough that I can solo the bridge pickup without problem now. Slap/pop sound is much improved. too. The low string tension brought the playability up a notch, too. Feels and sounds like a whole new bass! Good strings at any price, A steal for what they are charging. Recommended! ... show more

  • The point is they sound damn good on my Sterling 5 string
Color: Original Version
When they say bright, they mean it. Then again, maybe my frame of reference is broken since I rarely change bass strings. The point is they sound damn good on my Sterling 5 string. They're definitely best for rock/metal or slap and pop funk where a bright tone is preferred. At this price point they're pretty much a no-brainer. ... show more
