Best stainless steel roundwound string on the market
Style: 4-STRING Size: 45-105 GAUGE Configuration: FULL SCALE
Dunlop Super Bright stainless steel strings have longer life than Rotosounds. Do not waste your time with Rotosound stainless steel strings. Rotos go dead in 3 days.. while Dunlop Super Brights retain their zing for months. For the standard 4-string gauge of 45-105.... there are no better stainless steel or nickel round wound strings on the market. I use Dunlop Super Brights on many of my basses including Spector Euro Classic 4, Gibson Rex Brown Thunderbird, Fender Duff McKagan Deluxe Precision, G&L Tributes LB-100 & JB, Epiphone Embassy, Ibanez Talman and Ibanez ATK. Good price on these strings. Highly recommended for bassists who seek the even "piano-like" tone on their strings... with plenty of highs, mids and LOWs. ... show more

Awesome, just put these on the right way everytime.
Style: 5-STRING Size: 40-120 GAUGE Configuration: FULL SCALE
Make sure you put your strings on right and they will sound very bright and thumping heavy evenly. I play in a Metal band and I definitely like these for what I do. These are more affordable than DR Hi-Beams and I am just as satisfied. You can definitely slap clean with these. I play heavy and hard, Great for Death Metal or other extreme genres wanting more clank out of their sound. I play in Drop A# on a 4 string Ltd TA-600 35" Scale, and a C standard on a Epiphone Thunderbird 34" Scale, these have the right amount of tension and feel, not super tight and not loose, just perfect for my needs, whether you play with your fingers like me, or use a pick , you're gonna love these. I use these to play live and I use these in the studio. These strings will last a good while before they break, I've had them on another bass for over a year, before I started playing live and recording again, just take care of them and while and clean them after playing and the brightness will last longer. I do recommend let them settle and stretch for a day before recording, and they will stay in tune. I highly recommend Dunlop strings for any musician, they will have something that will suit your needs whether it's guitar or bass for metal music or rock, or any other genre they are the perfect string maker and they got you covered. ... show more

Bright alright - But with a nice Fat Boom as well!
Style: 5-STRING Size: 40-120 GAUGE Configuration: FULL SCALE
Excellent quality strings. They are indeed bright, but nothing you can't manage with the Treble pot. At the same time they actually have a very nice full and deep boom as well. I fell back in love with my bass guitar. The stainless steel feels softer to the touch and more grippy than my old nickel wound strings, which I consider a bonus. The color is more light blue-ish than the nickel wound strrings which in comparison have a more yellow-ish sheen. On my black bass this looks pretty cool. The low B string is not floppy, the E is solid and the A is my favorite. Great steady tone. The D and G are on the thin side but play very well, with a nice bright sound when popped. ... show more

These strings have been used by many different famous players and have been endorsed de tension. Durability and play ability of these strings is excellent. Yes, he will sacrifice individual wrapping and perhaps find a hole in the plastic bag. It comes in, but as often as we change strings, the date codes have always been new and they just deliver the perfect five string sound for this tour ... show more

Very nice sounding strings for a good price
Style: 5-STRING Size: 45-125 GAUGE Configuration: FULL SCALE
This is my first experience with Dunlop strings and I'm very satisfied with the Super Bright Bass Steels. They have a very robust midrange presence that give the bass signal a fullness that can be heard and felt. Out of the box they had the typical metallic zing. When they started to age and loose that "zing", the sound stayed very bright and clear. In other words, they don't go completely dead after a few weeks. So it at least appears that the string life will be long. Finally, I LOVE the slightly looser tension of the string. Great for slapping, but not "floppy" or out of control. It's rare to get this kind of tension on a SS string. The strings are a little more "course" than smooth, which doesn't bother me. Others might find them a little rough if they are just starting out on bass. These strings were a good find. ... show more

Especially good for slap, but works with all styles
Style: 4-STRING Size: 40-100 GAUGE Configuration: FULL SCALE
If you play bass, you have probably heard about these strings. The stainless version has a "grippy" feel, which some may not like, but I like knowing that if my finger placement is not correct they will not tend to slip as much. I would not consider them rough, though (a fear some have with stainless steel roundwounds). They are also quite flexible for their diameter/size. If you like stiff strings, you will probably want to get a heavier set than the 40/100 or try another brand that is less flexible (like DR Lo-Riders). The super brights live up to their name out of the box, but tame down quite a bit after a few hours playing. They are still a bright string though. They have a good, somewhat "growly" sound when played fingerstyle or with a pick, and have great clarity when slapped. It is very impressive how clear open E is with this string. ... show more

One dead string out of two sets, otherwise decent strings
Style: 5-STRING Size: 40-120 GAUGE Configuration: FULL SCALE
I bought a couple sets of these strings to put on my bass that I have set up for a nice bright slap tone. I had been using stainless steel DR Hi Beams but these were a little cheaper so I thought I'd give them a shot. Unfortunately, the D string on the first set I put on was completely dead sounding. I know it happens from time to time, but it was still pretty disappointing. The other strings had decent brightness, but the D sounded like a six month old nickel wound string. I replaced it with the D from the other set and the sound was much more consistent with the other strings. I don't think they have quite as much high end spank as the DRs, so I'll probably spend the extra few bucks for the DRs next time, especially because of the dead string, but these do sound and feel fine for now and I'll leave them on until I wear them out. ... show more
