EXL165TP : Fairly good strings

11 years ago

Bought these purely for the double pack and that I've never tried D'Addario strings before. Strung up my Jazz bass with these, and was immediately struck by two things: The bright, full sound and the tension. I did really like the sound of these when I first put them on, but found the tension too high for my liking. After about two weeks, the strings didn't have a particularly great sound and I would consider them 'dead', but then I do crave a very bright and twangy sound.

A lot of people do really like these strings, but they're just not for me and they're not exactly breaking the bank.
