  • brighter than other nickels I've tried
I've been a stainless steel Foundations fan for a while--beefy fundamental, rich harmonics, good pitch definition on the low B--but I thought I'd give the nickels a try. I like these a lot! They're crisp and clear, harmonics ring nicely, and they last a good amount of time--given that hot, sweaty, outdoor summertime shows tend to kill strings pretty quickly. Think I'm gonna switch to these nickels. The smooth feel and reduction in finger noise is a plus. I've been disappointed with other brands' nickel bass strings--IME they sound dead pretty quickly and lack midrange harmonics--but these are a different animal. Better different... ... show more

  • Excellent quality strings
I have about a week with these strings so far. And so far I am impressed. If these maintain good sound for more than a couple months it may be my new top string of choice. I heard these were low tension strings. Which I worried, because I do not like noodle-ish strings on my bass. But I find these strings to be very comfortable and controlled. I did not have to make adjustments to the neck or string height. (Just some small adjustments for intonation on a couple strings) At a price at ~$25 a set, I will likely buy again. ... show more

  • Great Choice in Bass Strings
S.I.T is one of two brands of string I buy for my guitars. I really, really like them. They hold up well and do stay in tune as the name suggests. They seem to very stable in that regard. The foundations give my 5 string both a the round bass notes I want and enough bright to cut through the mix when I need it. ... show more

  • Shocked
I traditionally play Kalium strings, but their order times and customer service is abysmal so I've been rolling through strings looking for an alternative. I've found myself craving brightness with a lower tension. These seem to hit the spot! Usually I've found S.I.T. strings to be a bit...harsh/brittle in their tone, but these aren't that at all. I was very shocked at how much I like them. ... show more

  • Not my favorite
I had high hopes for these string and in the end I ended up taking them off after a week and putting my old strings back on. For me the tone just was not working. I'm sure these strings are good for some but I'll stick with my favorite brand. I bought these because a friend suggested them. They were harsh and thin sounding to me. Just not pleasant to listen to. However, the build quality looks great and they are surprisingly flexible is bending strings is your thing. But in the end these are not for me. ... show more
