  • Best bass strings I have found
Color: Group 3 (45-100) Style: 4-String
I put these strings on all my basses after trying them on a Fender Pbass. They are so smooth. Great action and incredible sound. I put them on a Fender custom shop 55 Pbass. They give me the same growl and deep bass as round wound with the comfort and playability of flats. Love em.

  • Great Bass Strings Scores a Save for a $450 Bass
Color: Group 5 (45-130) Style: 5-String
Great strings. Was really disappointed with my Yamaha TRBX-505 until I put a set of these on. That and an adjustment of string heights tamed the trebles, and really brought out the mids. Now this has become is my versatile, go-to bass, and I've barely touched my upgraded Lakland 5501 since. I only noticed a few weeks ago that they were sounding duller and that the intonation was out. I was really surprised to see that these strings have been on my bass for 2 years and 5 months. They really held up well. 7-18-2017 - Update... Ernie Ball needs to go lighter on the string windings for the Low B and and Low E strings. Last time I installed, I could barely get the windings though the bridge. This time, I could not get either string completely through the bridge. Each of these strings are resting on the windings rather than the ball end. Check other reviews to see if this is unique to Yamaha bridges or problematic for other bass guitars. ... show more

  • Great Quality, Pros & Cons, Not great with Rocksmith
Color: Group 3 (45-100) Style: 4-String
Ok, there are pro's and con's here, and its not the strings, it's me. First off these strings have a unique feel, a smooth matte surface, and they feel very durable. I play for fun with Rocksmith, and the normal bass strings have been hurting my fingers as I don't play enough to get calluses. I looked into getting flatwould or groundwound strings to help with this issue. These strings are smooth, however, now I have new issues that I didn't expect. Instead of the sandpaper feel of normal strings, these smooth strings burn my fingers (like a carpet burn) when sliding. This is probably due to the increased surface area touching your fingers using a flat string. I also noticed that my right hand is getting very tired plucking, I never had that issue with normal strings. It seems that it takes about twice the energy to pluck flat strings, probably again due to the increased surface area on the string surface. Also the flat strings have a different sound or tone than the normal strings, which I expected, the issue is that Rocksmith doesn't pick up the low notes as well on these strings making it harder to play the game. The strings sound great through my amp, the issues I am having are particular to my noob situation, and playing Rocksmith. I am still pretty new to playing bass, and to anyone else out there playing rocksmith I recommend sticking with normal strings. ... show more

  • Bright as round wounds
Color: Group 4 (40-95) Style: 4-String
Bright as round wound stainless strings but without the finger noise and no pick scraping sounds. Silky smooth wrap for the fretting hand. I can't hear any diff between these and the Ernie Cobalt Flats. They are smoother wound than the Cobalt Flats. The Group IV 40-90 set is 5lbs higher tension than the 40-90 Cobalt Flats. ... show more

  • I am really please with these strings
Color: Group 5 (45-130) Style: 5-String
I have installed these strings on both my Ibanez Electric/Acoustig Bass and my Washburn Electric Bass. I was pleasantly surprised to find that these string actually boosted the volume of the acoustic bass when not amplified and that I could play it unamplified in a small group. The string are satin smooth and very asy to play. I was warned the flat wounds are too mellow but I must say these string are crisp and feels like it requires less tesion to ge the same tone making it softer to play. ... show more
