  • Great strings! (and style)
Insanely good strings, great feel on the fingers, and the sound is exactly what i needed, be aware that these are coated so you won't be grounding your bass when touching the strings! (If you have hum on the bass) Normal roundwounds without coating made my fingers bleed while playing songs with a lot of slides, this one never made that happends, pretty happy with these strings, would recommend! ... show more

  • Black Beauties!
I have a set on my four string and they are great! They feel wonderful and they are awesome to look at. They sound nice so I didn't worry about purchasing the 5 strings.

  • the best tone longevity
i have used the 4-string version of these for a couple of years now, so when my son needed new ones for his 5, didn't think twice about which ones to get, perfect tone that stays crisp for months
