Valuestrings Bass 45-105 : Budget price - but not budget tone

Bass strings are quite expensive and so often I will wait longer than I should before replacing them, however I recently spotted these and decided to add a packet alongside my other items to see if they were any good. They are packaged in the typical heady duty plastic bag and each string is individually packaged in a sealed plastic bag. Unlike other similarly priced strings I have bought, these have the ends wrapped in silk (in this case orange coloured).

I was not expecting much from them given the price but I was pleasantly surprised. I would say about 90% of the tone of the ?big? brands is there. Will need to wait longer to see about their longevity, but they have not immediately died after 3 or 4 sessions ? So far so good. Worth adding a packet to your order, it could end up saving you a lot of money!
