After trying various other brands including, these have become my favourites. They settle down very quickly to give you a mildly bright tone that cuts through the mix. Even the B string is articulate, and depending on your personal playing style, these will sound great for all you slap and poppers out there as well as well rounded for finger style r&b, rock/pop, gospel, jazz or reggae. I'm sure these strings would suit pick style genres of music as well. The supplier, Richtone have never let me down and ship gear very quickly indeed. Great value product and fast shipping.

Firstly they sound AMAZING when you first play them, especially for metal. While Ernie Ball are great for rock and slap, D'Addario are perfect for metal. I play a lot of Iron Maiden and Avenged Sevenfold as well as other classic bands such as Judas Priest and the Devin Townsend Project. For these types of bands, I have no discovered any flaws in them. Though they lost a lot of brightness over a course of a month, I can always replace them and regain that smooth but distinct tone.

If you have small fingers or want to play delicate riffs these strings are for you. They have a bright sweet tone and sound delightful in a quieter settings. They are not as heavy as usual bass strings so are not as difficult to hold a note. I really like them and would buy again. The price is very competitive . I think that these strings would suit a beginner or younger person because of their ease of use and it is not difficult to get a good sound from them.

Clean and bright is how I would best describe the sound of these bad boys. Whats more, they are long lasting and durable. I always used to use Rotosound or Elites (mainly because they were what my local music shop had in stock!), but by pushing the boat out and experimenting I came across these and have never looked back! I will continue to use these until I find something better and would recommend them to all electric bassists : )

I usually string my bass guitar with Thomastik-Infield nickel-coated rounds, but they have been increasingly difficult to find at a reasonable price. I thought I'd give these a try seeing the twin-pack value that Amazon offers. They are exceptional strings; very balanced with clear definition and retaining their tone after a month of consistent use. The finish is easy on the fingers and the price is easy on my debit card.

I I always buy these because I like a .50 on the top. I've tried most other brands on my Jazz, including expensive coated Elixir strings and always come back to these. They stay in tune and last well. The supplier is good and strings always arrive before the expected date. I accept that a purchase like this is always down to personal preference but I tend to buy D'Addario for my six strings, too.

I recommend these to my students playing short scale basses such as the Gretsch Electromatic, the Fender Squier Jaguar short scale and the Ibanez Mikro. I found that the light and super light gauges can sometimes have tuning or intonation issues on the low E string, so now recommend these with a 105 on the bottom. Great strings.

I believe that these are the smoothest round wound strings you can buy which is ideal for me as I used flatwounds for a number of years. I usually get about 10-12 4 hour gigs out of them before they need changed.I've tried everything else and nothing comes close in terms of sound, feel, longevity and price

No matter what style you play these strings will absolutely do the job. In short they 1) Cut through 2) Sustain with a deep fundamental 3) Are super responsive. Highly recommend. And built to last no matter how much attack you put in. Would definitely buy again.

D'Addario have been around for years now and I've never had an issue with their strinfsThese ones are great - you get the benefit of 'normal' higher strings and tighter lower strings. These are great for my Ibanez fanned fret bass.

d'addario never disappoint.. electric, acoustic or bass strings (I'm a proper little smart a*+e me) they are all great quality at good prices. Good range of choices too. Vaccum sealed is a good touch. No old stock rusty strings

I wanted something new for my bass that is clear but can pack a punish. These strings are great at cutting through the mix, for a nice and clean defined bass sound. I mainly pluck but playing with a pick gives you more clarity.

Excellent strings; nice tension, good feel and great, well balanced punchy tone. Even the B string sounds crisp and has a nice 'twang'. A definite improvement over my usual Rotosounds. I highly recommended these strings.

The mix of light top strings and medium bottom strings really works on my Yamaha 5 string bass. Add to that, the bright tone coupled with the solid bass from the Nickle Wound strings and I really can't fault these.

For the price i paid (£ 20) is a steal.They sound a bit bright to me but overall can not complain.Delivery time just as good as you would expect from Amazon.The B string was quiet bit fat for the nut on my bass.
