    • Perfect for all current Fender and Squier Bass VI models!
Color: Original Version
I own a 2013 limited edition Fender Bass VI as well as a 2013 Squier Bass VI. I will own the Fender Pawn Shop Bass VI soon as well, and these are the same strings (D'Addario) that my limited edition came from the factory with, and the same gauge strings the Squier came equipped with, and the same gauge the Pawn Shop model uses. While they are a lighter gauge series than the original Fender Bass VI strings of the past (those had a range of . 025-.095), again, this set contains the gauge series used on all the currently made models, including the Squier, contrary to what is listed on Fender's Squier site. These are comparable to Fender's current Bass VI string set, as they are the same gauge range of .024-.084. I like D'Addario's quality, and these are no exception. ... show more

    • Same gauge, higher tension.
Color: Original Version
So, one of the first tings people will say about upgrading a Squire Bass VI is to change the strings to a higher gauge. These strings are the same gauge as the stock strings, but the higher string tension significantly improved the playing and bridge stability of the Squire. You can get custom sets of higher gauge strings, but these definitely do the trick. I have been playing XL's on all of my basses for a few years now, and I cannot recommend them enough. High quality, long lasting, and they sound great. ... show more

    • Great strings for the Bass VI
Color: Original Version
I've been using these for my Bass VI since the late 90s and though they are a lighter gauge than what Fender originally put on mine (a '96 MIJ) I love them. The low E can get floppy, but I think that's just a Bass VI thing. These ring nice and clearly with a nice piano-like quality especially when fresh. ... show more

    • This is almost a great set for a Bass VI
Color: Original Version
This is almost a great set for a Bass VI, but.... the E string is too thin to stay in tune. I even changed out the bridge to stay trem and the .84 low E string is a floppy miss. Get LaBellas instead for your Bass VI. These sound great on 5 strings, but the low E really ruins the experience.

    • Sound good

Husband put them on his Fender Precision and says they are a good set of strings.

    • good set, bright tone.
Color: Original Version
good affordable strings they are brighter than my typical brand i use (regular slinky's) so i'm not sure i prefer these but i've got no complaints.

    • Decent, but needs to be higher/thicker string gauge
Color: Original Version
Fairly decent set of strings and apparently the most readily available and most affordable set for the Bass VI aside from Fender's Bass VI string set. The gauge is a bit on the light side, which becomes quite apparent with the floppy low E string. This, combined with the stock bridge on current Bass VI models also makes the low E string difficult to intonate properly. It would have been desirable for D'Addario to have offered a higher string gauge set to help eliminate the previously mentioned issues, but all that aside, the strings are of typical D'Addario quality and will do the job. ... show more

    • Fantastic strings!
Color: Original Version
These strings are fantastic! Love the feel, the sound. For the very specific job they have, they do it with gusto!
