  • MEANING OF TYPES
Color: Regular (50-105)
MEANING OF TYPES: -Hybrid: lighter and easier on the hands for those who haven't gotten their calluses yet. Has brighter tones to it. These don't require a lot of finger power to hold down as the others. If you are new bassist, choose this one. (super and extra are also really light and similar. I don't really know the difference as I have never used those two). -Beefy: These big boy require more finger power and has a hotter output with punchier tone to it. This is your basic metal genre strings. Great for when you play lower tunings. If you play metal a lot, choose these. -Regular: most rounded sounding one. If you don't have another bass, or play a lot of different styles of music. Choose these. -Power: used more for classic rock and roll music. Like that music, choose these. The material also makes a difference: -Nickel: Bright, balanced tone -Cobalt: Wide dynamic range with increased low end and crisp highs -Stainless Steel: Bright, crisp, “edgy” tone Solid strings with a long life span and are definitely worth your time and money. I bought the regular as the are the really good for any kind of music. Hope this helps a bit! ... show more

  • these things are awesome! Not only do they produce a bright
Color: Hybrid (45-105)
I recently dusted off my old Ibanez EDB 600 and decided to restring it and clean it up a bit. I've primarily played with either Elixer or Dean Markley Blue Steels on my basses and after reading that Justin Chancellor plays Ernie Ball I decided to go with the Hybrid Slinks. Holy Christ on a graham cracker crutch, these things are awesome! Not only do they produce a bright, crisp sound on the highs but they also have excellent punch on the mid-range and clear, distinct tones on the low end. Even my 25+ year old Fender amp picks up every note with shocking clarity. Seriously, don't waste anymore money on pricey Elixers or Boomers that promise to "stay bright" a little longer. What you get in marginally increased longevity with these strings you give up in sound and nearly instant improvement to the sound of your bass. Don't be a dope, buy these strings and keep on keeping on. ... show more

Color: Power (55-110)
Arrived promptly and is OEM product as described. Strings brands are mostly a personal preference but I have always found EB's to be a good string and relatively inexpensive. TIP: when you replace strings, coil up old ones individually and drop in boiling water for 30 seconds or so. Dry off and put back in pack w/ some silica gel packs ( from other shipped items ). You'll have some great bright sounding spares for a backup bass or if/when one string breaks. Much better than having to throw on an old dead sounding one. ... show more

  • It's friggin sweet.
Color: 5-string Regular (45-130)
Man I have tried a bunch of different strings throughout the course of my life and there aren't many I like. I've got a weird since of touch and most strings just feel uncomfortably firm and impossible to tame. DR was the first company I liked but I found their .130 strings to floppy for B. I've been using Kalium Strings for the past 4 years and they are the best but I've been looking to see if I can find a more affordable(cheaper) option that doesn't sacrifice feel or tone and here we are. I am embarrassed to say that I never tried ernie ball before but these strings feel lovely to the touch and have a nice crisp sound. I thoroughly enjoy them. I'd say Kalium are a perfect 10 and ernie are at a 9.5. Seeing as how ernie are 30% cheaper they seem like the best choice. Oh and the .130 doesn't feel floppy, it just feels like a thicker E string. ... show more

  • Great Sound
Color: Super (45-100)
These strings are simply awesome. They make playing fast easy and can still provide a fat tone when necessary. Obviously, they won't get as boomy as the thicker strings but they sound great nonetheless. I like to play more melodic bass lines and I tend to do a lot of tapping, which these are perfect for. The only thing to watch out for is, if you are switching string gauges, you may need to adjust the truss rod slightly if you have a pretty tight action to begin with. UPDATE: After trying out other strings (namely the DR Black Beauties which are coated strings), I have returned to these. I haven't found any that sound as good for as long in this price range. ... show more

  • Works For Me...
Color: Hybrid (45-105)
I'll start this off, by saying, that I'm typically a D'Addario XL guy, for 25+ years. I have recently got a couple Warwicks, that use this gauge. (45-105) One of the basses had strings installed that were loose in the nut & didn't feel right on it, so, I figured I'd get some strings to fit the stock gauge. Looking here (Amazon), I ran across these for a good price, so I thought I'd give them a try. I had used Slinky's on my guitar, when I started out in the '80s. These are nickel wound, like the XL's I'm used to, so... To me, they are pretty much on par. I like nickel wounds & these are as good as the D'Addario strings I've used over the years. Kind of funny, the review asks how I rate the "thickness", since this was a purposeful order (by gauge). The thicker gauge, is a little more difficult for some things, as I vibrato a bit, w/ a wide vibrato on things that require it. That rings true though, for the original Warwick strings on my other Warwick. Overall, I'd recommend these, especially for the price. If this is the gauge you want & like nickel wound round, then these are a good quality string. ... show more

  • Love EB strings, but....
Color: Power (55-110)
I've used Ernie Ball strings for decades (seriously). I've been using slinky for guitar and bass, and recently tried power slinky guitar strings. I've since switched ALL my guitars to power slinky, as they're perfect for my down-tuned, chunky playing style. It seemed natural to try the bass ones too. I don't dislike them, but I won't be switching my other basses to power slinky. I do a lot of crazy bass playing, with slaps and solos and bending, and these are harder to use. particularly with bending. Half the time I don't get the bend up to pitch, which surprised me because I down-tune my basses as well. I do like them for more straight forward low growl bass lines, so if that's your thing you might dig them. If you do any bending at all I can't recommend these. ... show more
