A Huge Improvement!!!
So, I was not a big fan of D'addario steel strings, but man, they figured something out. These are bright. These are comfortable. These last. I started purchasing all D'addario when I needed steel string.
A classic!
Great SS strings. A classic for a reason.
You cant beat Daddarios
Bought these for a bass I planned to setup specifically with these steel strings, the strings have a very bright tone and so far have retained their brightness, as daddarios tend to do.
Why not use D'Addario?
D'Addario just does what they do best, which is making good and reliable strings.
I have been using D'Addario for all my basses and guitars, and this set is a nice addition to the tonal possibilities of the instruments.
Great sounding strings, stay bright and in tune for a long time.
I have been using this brand of strings now for about 6 years and I think they are great strings. Once they have worn it the brightness mellows out and they come into their own. I use them for all genres of music I do from reggae, jazz funk, blues, to acoustic folk. My only gripe with them is that they are rough to the touch when new and it takes about two weeks of daily playing for them to feel comfortable enough to use on a gig without getting sore fingers. I tend to change them as soon as they start sounding dull which is around 8 to 10 months of regular playing and rehearsals. Once they loose their brightness I tend to move them onto my other bass that I use exclusively for reggae and they stay on that bass for about a year, or I keep them in my gig bag as spares..
Decent
Good strings that won't break the bank
bass strings
the Daddario EPS170 bass strings are my go to bass strings. i have tried many other brands but i always come back to these. i love the powerful punch and clarity i get from them and they keep a great consistent tone through out their life and they are not too expensive
Daddario Steel Strings
These are my favourite bass strings on the market, i love the brightness of tone, it's punchy bass and durability.
You can play these strings over a few months without a high loose of tone.
The surface of the strings is a little rough, but it's still ok and still comfortable to play over a longer time.
Absolutely great strings!
