Daddario EPS170-6SL Pro Steels Reviews

The only super long scale for my 36" Bass I was able to find. When I was adjusting the bridge ito intonate the new set of strings I tuned and detuned may be 3 or 4 times and the high C String (32) snapped right after the tuning peg. What a bummer, I probably was the lucky one getting the bad set.

One of my personal favorites

If you're used to playing coated strings, you're going to have a rough (literally) time with these.

I've used nickel strings mainly before purchasing these for my Ibanez BTB, and it feels like I've made a switch from 360p to 1080p HD.

HOWEVER, it seems that the super crystal clear sound doesn't last too long. These will sound super bright for a week and a half or so, and degrade down to almost nickelwound like sound.

Budget strings

The quality is still the same.

The best of the standards!

Daddario Pro Steels are the best standard strings in the market nowadays specially for metal music if you want to appear in the mix. Their balance are very good even for low tuning basses, unless you tune it 2 steps down I would recommend a custom gauged string set.

Also is very important to mention their durability, specially for musicians on the road. They can last several concerts without loosing the brightness and of course the tuning.

The strings come in a plastic bag to prevent corrosion different from strings wrapped and packed in a paper envelope. You can open your strings even after several years of its purchase and it will still remain fresh, like new.

So if you´re a musician looking for a brighter and punchier sound with rich harmonics, Daddario Pro Steels are the strings you´re looking for!

*The Super Long scale from Daddario is suitable for 35" basses or 34" basses with string through body bridge.
