42301 M Red Label : Great budget strings that hold up with more expensive models

10 years ago

I absolutely love these strings.

Pros

- low price. You can change 3 sets for a price of one more expensive set

- good sounding - very bright with much bite

- .135 low b string which brings much needed tightness and punch to low end

Cons

- quality control. Although very rarely, especially since they started vacum packing strings, a string or two in the set can sound different from the rest.

- non tapered b string - although not a problem with most bridges, they can be tricky with Warwick bridges.
