42301 M Red Label : Great value for money!

I bought these strings for my new 5-string long scale bass made of mahogany. The original strings it came with were a little too thin for my taste. I decided to order the Warwick Red Labels because I wanted some higher gauge strings without having to spend a lot of money.

When the Warwicks arrived I immediately put them on my bass. They sounded a little brighter than the old strings but that didn't surprise me because all new strings tend to be on the bright side at first. These strings too got a little darker (soundwise) after a few days. But they do not sound dull at all. They still sound very lively and organic and show the quality of the bass. Also, they produce a very rich and tight bottom end. For the price I paid I am really overwhelmed.

What I really like about these strings is that the gauge of the individual strings make absolute sense. Some string sets come with strange gauges but not these. Every single string seems to have the perfect tension. (note: I play a standard tuning!)

Bottom Line: Good sounding strings overall. Great value for money!
