Really good strings

I'm not a professionist but among the few strings I used these are imho some of the best. They sound really clear and i love how easy they're to play. The price/quality ratio I think it's extremely good.

Been using D'addario nickel for many years, and never had a problem with them!

Great tone, and the consistency from set to set is just amazing.

Nice bright strings

I bought these strings to put it on my jazz bass. I usually like Jesus Lizard type bass sound - harsh and bright. These strings deliver that sound. I don't know yet about longevity, I only installed them a week ago. We'll see.

Punchy!

Bright and punchy sounding and seemed to have lasted pretty well too.

Great strings!

Great bass strings, the stainless steel sound adds a lot of zing and presence to your tone. I use these on a stingray in drop d, and the 105 holds the tuning without going too floppy.

Pretty decent

I replaced the strings on my LTD bass with these as soon as it arrived. These strings produced a very bright sound, but this comes with its advantages and disadvantages. It's tough to find a useable normal bass tone for rock songs etc. However, they work well for slap and solo bass. These strings probably aren't for people who want variety from their bass, but they'll work well for people who have a bass that exclusively plays slap bass etc.
