Second time using them on modified standard Fender Jazz Bass V. I learned a few things during installation that ensure the strings perform as they should. Installed correctly, they are a wonderful string and the tone is just like Victor Wooten says in his endorsement. I was a big Rotosound player my entire 40 plus years of playing but those were always installed on USA vintage fenders. Rotosound on the standard Jazz sounded ok but the B string was always a weak link. The Pure Blues fixed that! And the tone is way more solid, even across all strings, and the B is now part of the family! The bass sounds and plays like butter. When installing them: on Fender posts I try to get three wraps. I found myself only cutting the G, E & B if I recall correctly. If you do cut the string, place a near 90 degree bend then cut the string after that about an inch. That can go into the post hole. As your wrap the string on the post avoid twisting the string as you wrap it. That will create addition tension on the core of the string and make it sound and perform differently. To avoid this, leave the string ball end out of the bridge about an inch or two and as you wrap the string it will eventually pull up into place without a twisted string. Specifically ON THE B!!!! And more importantly if you string thru body! I only string the B string thru body. The rest is top load. If you installed the strings and anyone on them sound dull, this is the issue. Specifically past 12th fret will be the worst. Reinstall the string. Intonation Adjustments had to be made and so forth but after that I’m super happy to be using these. They sound spectacular. My amps are Ashdown and Aguilar with Ampeg and Eden mix of cabinets. The 2017 Standard Jazz has Seymour Duncan linear Jazz pickups with Seymour’s two-way active tone control outfitted with some American hardware and hand finished neck. ... show more

    • Don't Work for Me on My Custom Bass
I listened to a LOT of YT videos on these and similar strings. I was looking for a little flatwound thump and some brightness in a set of rounds and these seemed to be the strings. Nope. They sounded dead and after 2 weeks. I like DR strings a LOT. I have them on my MMs and J's. I'm going to try the Sunbeams and keep my fingers crossed. ... show more

    • Love these strings!
I love these strings! I’ve been using them for at least 5 years. They sound amazing on my two 5 string Jazz Basses! And they last a long time. I do mostly studio recording and I probably keep my strings on longer than most but it’s because I love them sooo much! Out of the box they are bright but not harsh. Everything sounds like crystal clear water. You can hear every note and it makes you pay close attention to your technique. But I personally love the sound of them after they’ve been broken in after a few weeks. The character and tone you get from them is clear, warm and punchy! I play Gospel, R&B and CCM mostly and these strings give me exactly what I want. Best strings around in my opinion. ... show more

    • The best strings I ever bought
They have an impressive sound, and bass strings height got a little bit lower. I'm using them on MT 5 Strings Bass and sound better that ever. I was using the Standard DR strings and there is no compare. Even the touch of my fingers is lighter. It's my first set so I can not say anything about the duration . What I do is keep my hands clean and clean the bass string frequently . ... show more

    • Perfect bass strings!
Love the sound and feel. Feels like nickel with just enough bounce and perfect tension. Sounds a little brighter than nickel but not harsh like stainless rounds can sound. Very playable. Best strings ever.

    • B string snapped while stringing.
Review Image by Dillon Johns Dillon Johns
I was super excited to get these strings. But sadly the b-string snapped during installation. I've been changing strings for close to 15 years now and this has never happened before. Extremely disappointed. The rest of the strings sound great, but no b string for me.

    • Love the softer feel
Usually use the Fat Beams, decided to give these a try. Love the softer feel....I used guts on my upright and love that loose feel....and the tone is so clear and piano like.
