    • The "Taper" is WAY too far from the ball ends! Not for use with a traditional bridge.
The "Taper" is WAY too far from the ball ends! It ends an inch or so past my bridge saddles and over the bridge pickup. This varying thickness being well within the "vibrating" portion of the string creates weird overtone frequencies. It gets worse the higher up the neck you play. It sounds like it is out of tune when it is not. Or if a really bad chorus pedal is on. Perhaps these are intended for string-thru bodies or Rickenbacher type bridges where the thick part of the string ends up on the saddle like it should be. But with a traditional bridge these will not work properly. The ball to the saddle is just too short with a traditional bridge for these LONG tapered strings. I'll have to go back to the 45-105s that are NOT tapered. Those work really well. I just wanted to try the thicker gauge. Oh well... ... show more

These strings look and sound great. They have held tune perfectly and although the black coating kind of wears off the strings where you pluck them, they feel sturdy and smooth and have a nice clear tone. I expect them to last awhile. Very happy with them.

    • Tone is great and easy on the fingers
I bought these for my bass player husband. He loved them. He said the tone was better and easier on his fingers! He has not had any breakage problems!

    • Meh
These strings sound awesome!! Crisp, clean, and deep tone underneath it all!! They Look great too! We play heavy metal in drop C. And these strings only seam to last like 2 or 3 practices before the low E string breaks at the saddle just where it bends over the bridge. Replacing the strings every few weeks at 20+$ a pop is getting spendy. I've Had my bass looked at and everyone is saying it has to be the strings. So I suppose I'm going to look for a different brand that lasts longer. I play an ESP ltd B-1004 delux it's a pretty nice bass and I feel like I don't like hammer on them or mistreat them. Really wish these we're more durable and lasted longer. ... show more

Have used these stings many times before, both on my bass and guitar, but I have never boughta set that had a used string in it. 4th string all bent up as it had been installed before. Not happy about that.
