42210 ML Red Label : Very good quality/price ratio

10 years ago

I've been using these strings for years now, on 4-5-6 and Extended Range basses alike.

I've always been happy with them, they don't last long but they're cheap and sound good, very bright but a bit too aggressive on frets and fingers if you're an aggressive player.

Apart from their short life, another problem the chinese made string has is poor intonation: often I had to throw the bridge saddles back and forth to find a good intonation at the 12th fret and a few times I got bad sets with an unusable low E with an "inner buzz" when played open. Certainly bad news on a 30euros set but no big deal when you pay ?9.90. I'll keep using them for sure.
