  • These are not tape wound.
Style: 4-String Medium, 45-110
Yeah, I do understand that these say taper wound, not tape wound. And I bought them by accident because of that. Also, why on Earth would anybody use this name, when tape wound is a whole class of string type?

  • SOUND IS AMAZING
Style: 4-String Medium, 45-110
Strings feel so good and the sound is ever better! Definitely give these a try

  • Like that taper, not the elevated inperfection spot on the B-string.
Style: 5-String Medium, 45-130
B string has a slight mis-winding around the 6th fret, like a big dimple that you feel everytime you slide over that spot when playing. Never seen this on a bass string before. The dimple is easily seen with the naked eye, wasn't even trying to look for it. Hoping to get a B-string sent to replace this one.

  • The sound you know
Style: 4-String Medium, 45-110
If you've bought or played a new American made Fender bass in the recent past, then these were the strings on that bass. I liked the way my American Standard Jazz Bass sounded when I bought it so I figured I'd stick with these strings for a little while. I normally like DR Lo Riders on my passive basses, but these strings are pretty decent sounding and less expensive than the DR's. The .110 E string works great for drop D tuning - it doesn't get so floppy. This set is pretty versatile. I can get a nice scooped tone for slap, but still have a decent low mid sound when I favor the bridge pickup for fingerstyle playing, and a nice big rock tone run through a Sansamp BDDI. Enjoy! ... show more

  • good balance!
Style: 5-String Medium, 45-130
I have a musicman stingray 5 string. The sound I like is these fender strings and the music man passive pickups for a precision and jazz combination that is solid in clarity but unique to others. The lows are more to the percision bass sound and the highs are leaning a little to the jazz sound. the medium fender strings are perfect except I had to inlarge the string hole on the B string very slightly because the string was exactly the size of the hole. (tight fit) I have Fenders and a Yamaha and have always liked the quality of fender strings. The quality of these strings are legendary and at sale prices a excellent choice. ... show more

  • Great for drop down tuning
Style: 4-String Medium, 45-110
I have used these strings for several years now I like the 110 e string so I can go to drop down without it getting floppy. The taper gives it a bit more of a piano like sound on the e string. Nickel-plated steel gives it a brightness you don't get from nickel without the raspiness of stainless steel strings. Fender aerodyne p-bass ... show more

These are the stock strings for the Fender American Standard Precision V. I have tried others and keep coming back to these. Sound great and long lasting.
