    • Justo lo que necesito.
Style: Long Scale Size: Light, 45-100
Si buscan cuerdas que suenen brillantes y que duren por un tiempo considerable, estas son las que buscan. Lo bueno es que hay variedad de grosor y son lo suficientemente largas como para cualquier escala.

    • The Brightest So Far
Style: Long Scale Size: Light, 32-130 (6-String)
Great very bright very harmonic strings. However they do not last as long as the NYXL variation. I prefer to use bright strings since you can always remove high end frequencies with the tone knob but you cant add back in those high harmonics and zing

    • Don't know how I ever used anything else
Style: Long Scale Size: Medium, 50-105
These strings are absolutely awesome in every way! They are very smooth and add a brightness to your tone that is incredible if that is what your are looking for. Stainless steel strings really make you pop out in the mix and these are the best I've found. You won't be disappointed in these if you like cutting through and being heard! Very crisp and detailed sound. I use them on a medium scale Fender Aerodyne with no problems. I cut my strings to allow 2 to 3 wraps around my tuning pegs so these long scale strings fit fine on my medium scale bass. They fit perfectly fine and they add alot of bite to my sound which I love! ... show more

    • Pleaseantly surprised
Style: Long Scale Size: Medium, 50-135 (5-String)
I am not a fan of D'Addario strings for bass, but I am glad I listened to a couple reviews of these particular strings for drop tuning. I play in one band that uses Eb tuning for blues rock covers where I need to use a 5-string active Fender Jazz bass, again, not one of my preferred products (I mostly play Warwick and Ken Smith basses, which do not have the sound or look for this band's target market). I struggled with many different strings with higher tension from LaBella, Rotosound, Sadowsky, DR DDT, and Fodera. None set up well on this bass with playing tension or intonation consistency at the drop tuning. Flatwounds were the right tension, but the high end was just not sitting well in the mix. I changed the stock Fender bridge to a higher mass Hipshot A and the pickups to Reed James VVN Vintage Neo noiseless models with higher magnetic density than the original Fender Noiseless. Nothing seems to work. I bought these strings as a last resort prior to buying a new, custom jazz-style bass with 35" scale. I'm glad I did! They give enough tension at Eb tuning to have accurate intonation and feel. Not the best low B, but usable without being too un-focused or mushy. They also are not as bright as I expected after reading the product info. I do have back off the treble somewhat for this style of music, but not as much as some of the other steel string I tried, but more than nickel strings. I put these strings between, say, Pedulla or Warwick Black Label and above Rotosound Swing Bass Nickels. I would recommend these strings if you are detuning to Eb on a 34" scale bass and still need good playability and brighter strings than flatwounds. . I just bought 2 more sets as a backup. ... show more
