46200 M Red Label : Good basic strings

7 years ago

I have been using these strings on and off for years, and for the price they can't be beaten. Main pros & cons (based on years of use, not just the latest set I got):

+ Price / quality ratio, can't be beaten

+ Tone is good

+ I've never checked any tension tables in my life, but the stiffness is enough for detuning (one step to D standard) with a normal 34" bass.

+ never broken one, live or otherwise.

- The texture is rougher than for example in D'addario roundwounds, closer to Rotosound in feel (IMHO)

- the brightness will be gone faster than D'addarios, Foderas etc. more expensive strings but I've noticed that this is related to how acidic your hands/sweat is. Mine will kill strings within a month with just moderate playing. So adjust this minus accordingly.
