Strings have great punch and attack.
Style: Long Scale Size: Heavy, 55-110
It is so hard to find heavy rated strings. I love the extra mass and resulting tension of heavy strings...makes for a much better attack and tone. For finger playing, the tighter tension really brings out the attach and punch, particularly when playing at the bridge pickup. This also tends to avoid a lot of fret "clicking" common with looser strings that flap all around with harder plucking. One can attack the strings pretty hard and they stay under control. I also found the heavy strings hold their tuning much better than lighter strings, as well as have much more consistent sustain. Light strings quickly lose volume when left ringing... These strings maintain volume for several seconds after the initial attack. For a long time I used DR heavy strings, but these are significantly cheaper and sound very consistent to DR strings. Pros: 1. Super clean, refined tone, 2. Brighter attack that cuts through the mix, 3. More consistent volume, and maintains volume during sustain. If you don't use a compressor to regulate your volume, these strings help quite a bit, 4. Just a better, deeper, punchier, more consistent tone when compared to light gauge strings. Cons: 1. If you're are used to light gauge strings, you will have to get used to these. These higher tension strings require a harder stroke. You may experience some fatigue when first trying these, but the tonal advantages are well worth the effort of getting your fingers in better shape. ... show more

Good Strings
Style: Long Scale Size: Heavy, 55-110
I ordered these strings just looking to try heavier gauge strings, and I do like the sound. They sound so heavy, even on a clean channel. The texture is rough, which I expected, and the strings have good resistance. The only thing that was a bit of a pain was that I had to adjust my truss rod to account for the extra tension. I probably won't buy these in the future: but I will continue to buy D'Addario flex steels. The flex steels are lower tension and work better for my style of play. I would recommend these heavy gauge pro steels for pick style players that are looking for some bright and heavy tones. ... show more

Style: Long Scale Size: Heavy, 55-110
I wanted a deeper bass sound and tones, so I got the heavier gauge strings, these really do have deeper tone as I wanted. The bass sound quality has completely changed for the better. Incredable what the right quality strings can do with a guitars otherwise basic sound and tones.

Will tune to Drop C#
Style: Long Scale Size: Heavy, 55-110
Review Image by Grimothy
If you -like me- were wondering how low a set of heavy Pro Steels will go without sounding like hot garbage, the answer is Drop C#. These strings are perfect for that clanky, almost overbright tone of the likes of D.D. Verni and other speed metal players of the 80's. I put them on an unbranded Glarry that I bought for 80 bucks on Amazon and dressed out in gold hardware. Let me tell you, with these strings this thing sounds just as good if not better than my Ibanez. I would say the heavy set would have a perfect range of Drop C# to D Standard without being overly tight for most players. ... show more

First timer and Loved Em!
Style: Long Scale Size: Heavy, 55-110
I have never used D'addario bass strings. I was pleasantly surprised with the tone I was able to achieve. I am a guitar player not a bass player. So obviously I use a pick. I play a Dean Bass that has pretty good tone and very versatile. My bass guitar literally allows me to EQ all by itself. The strings can be very bright if you want but if you have a bass guitar that allows you to dial that back it can really give you good low-end. I like low end with a little bit of brightness and these strings fit that bill perfectly ... show more

Still in my top five...
Style: Long Scale Size: Heavy, 55-110
I like this string for the heavy tones on the low end when playing heavy music... and brightness on the highs. They do take a good solid couple weeks to settle in, though... and then they stay in tune pretty well after that.
