Best Strings Ever!
Style: Long Scale Size: Custom Light, 45-105
These are by far the best strings I’ve ever used! They have been on my bass guitar for 2 months now and are still punchy and bright. The strings sound really cool when I slap the bass. Very bright on the pluck and nice punch on the low end. When I play finger pick style the strings have that nice stretchy and flexible feel like when I first put them on. Many of the other types of strings I’ve used in the past have gone dead after a couple of weeks but these are still going strong. The .045-.105 diameter of the strings are the perfect balance for me. I highly recommend these strings. You will not be disappointed. The performance is unbelievable. Oh, and the reason I mentioned about how long they have been lasting for me is because I play bass all the time at my church and practice at home every day so my guitar doesn’t just sit in the case. It’s used a lot... lol ... show more

D'Addario bass strings
Style: Long Scale Size: Custom Light, 45-105
For me these are the best bass strings. I have been using D'Addario for many years. I don't like to use any other brand. There are different strings for different styles and I think D'Addario makes them all. I really don't think it's worth paying some of the insane prices for some of the strings out there. They make it look like they are doing something magical to them, but guess what, they're freakin guitar strings. I will always use D'Addario strings ..... and no, I don't work for them, just really like the strings. Best strings, great value. ... show more

Extremely bright, feel ok, good for the money
Style: Long Scale Size: Custom Light, 45-105
These are by far the best strings for your money if you cannot afford or don’t want to buy elixirs. The tone is extremely bright, metallicy, and dry. I wouldn’t say it’s versatile. But it does one thing pretty well, if you are into more aggressive, in your face kind of tone. The strings feel just about ok, not too rough. I would prefer them to be a bit more slick. But it’s just my preference. In terms of longevity, I don’t see how they can last more than a week or so. But it’s ok, given that they are not coated. Overall, I recommend them, unless you want something more high-end. It’s definitely an improvement over something like Rotosounds. ... show more

Good for almost any genre
Style: Long Scale Size: Custom Light, 45-105
I have played bass and guitar for about 7 years and self taught and I am impressed with the sound quality and lifespan of these strings. These are especially good for rock, especially for if you want to get a bass tone to sound like Mark Hoppus for example.
