Description

Dunlop Super Bright Bass Strings put your sound front and center with a crisp, vibrant top end and a fat bottom with a focused fundamental. Carefully designed by our team of bass players and tested by pros on the road, these strings sing with clear, defined highs that are supported by a fat, balanced bottom that keeps your sound full and round. Lighter tension provides a superior response to playing nuances, and the silky smooth feel of each string lets you get up and down the fretboard with ease and comfort. With extra-long life and exceptional string to string balance, Dunlop Super Bright Bass Strings allow the natural voice of your bass to come through. As with everything we make, we started from scratch and designed Dunlop Strings from the ground up to fit our vision of what a string should be. Each of our formulas is developed with on-the-road feedback from some of the greatest players in the world. At our headquarters in Benicia, California, we take a hands-on approach, running our machines at a slower pace and producing smaller batches, which allows us much more control at every step of the process. We also seal them in a protective bag for freshness and longevity. Every set of Dunlop Strings is the result of our obsession with details, which is ultimately an obsession with quality, consistency, and serving your needs as a player. Inside each pack of Dunlop Strings is more than 50 years of deep knowledge and experience gained from working with guitar players to further their playing experience. Made in the USA.

  • Great price point and quality
Style: 5-STRING Size: 45-125 GAUGE Configuration: FULL SCALE
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

Great strings,,, have that bright sound I love !!!! Just look at the picture, you can almost see how great they sound (hehe). All my bass's are 4 bangers but I set them up and string them as B E A D (strings and tuning), I always buy the 5 string sets and throw the G string in the garage can. Cheers Davyo ... show more

  • Loose feel is biggest advantage, but they are not super bright.
Style: 5-STRING Size: 45-125 GAUGE Configuration: FULL SCALE
These strings have comfortable loose feel, but don't have quite as full range a tone as the DR hi-beams. They seem to keep their brightness a little longer than most strings and have a good punch in the midrange. Good 'bite' but not aggressive sounding, on a brightness scale I rate them 8/10.

  • Too much tension and too wimpy at the same time.
Style: 5-STRING Size: 45-125 GAUGE Configuration: FULL SCALE
I was surprised at how much bow these strings caused to the neck compared to a standard set of heavier strings. It took a lot of fine tuning to get the neck straightened and the bridge saddle height set to get a somewhat acceptable playing condition. Odd because the strings do have less tension than my normal strings. Bending and vibrato are easy if thats your style. Slap tone seems good but frankly I would not say these strings are brighter than any other string I have used. I think I prefer Pro Steels at least in a five string setup. The .125 B string just seems too flexible especially on a 34 inch scale. I would not recommend these strings if you like low action as they just are too wimpy feeling and vibrate into other frets. Higher setup will fix that but I don't prefer. Unfortunately I cannot recommend these for anything positive. Now that I went through all that setup fine tuning I'll probably leave on for a while but kinda wish I had just changed them off once I saw the problems it would cause me. Might be a good four string set for a short scale bass but hard to tell. My bass definitely set up better with the cheap factory strings than with these as a replacement. . ... show more
