    • Wow, just wow
Size: 5-String Style: 2608B - NickelSteel Bass XL
Totally taken by surprise with these strings. Bright, punchy, responsive, flexible, smooth. Perfect for modern bass sound. They excell on my Schecter and are my standard for that bass.

Upon completion of replacing my strings i noticed a slight volume drop, however i love the growl these strings deliver. Very bright and punchy with a smooth feel. I believe for the price they are a great strings.. Would buy again..

    • Want a bright tone that your fingers will appreciate? Look no further!
Size: 5-String Style: 2602B - NickelSteel Bass LT
The best thing about these strings are how nice they feel while being played. Next best thing is the tone you get out of them. These are great for slapping and popping but can also be used for nearly any style. The price point doesn't hurt either, so why not try a set and see how you like them?

Size: 4-String Style: 2602A - NickelSteel Bass LT
Whenever I have strung Dean Markley Strings to my Fender Jazz I was always VERY Happy. I tried a different set of Dean Markley strings. To tell you the truth I'm not happy with them at all. The gauge is great. The strings feel nice as I play. What's the problem? Since I strung these strings I have had to turn up the volume on my Fender Amp and all turn up the volume on my Fender Jazz Bass. When I have strung new strings on my bass in the past I have never had to turn the volume up. I'm thinking of changing my strings AGAIN. ... show more

Put them on my new Matt Freeman P-Bass and it now cuts through the mix better while still retaining a nice fat bottom. Almost seems like I upgraded the pickups. Sign of a good string.

    • Crisp, fantastic, bright strings that carry a growl.
Size: 4-String Style: 2604A - NickelSteel Bass ML
If you liked the Dean Markley Misfits Skullbusters strings, these are them. The CEO of DM recommended them via email after I complained about the Skullbusters being discontinued. The only complaint about these vs. the Skullbusters is the end of the strings that wrap in the tuning pegs are no longer cloth-covered. I miss that. ... show more

Good sounding string, well made. I'm not hooked to any string brand in particular but the string design is the ONLY one that I use on my 5's so figured I'd try it on a four.
