You can't go wrong with Daddario

There's no cons on these strings, awesome sound and they are durable as hell! I think I have mine for 2 years now on the bass, the sound is still awesome, not a single string has broken and I must say I play really hard.

Perfect for Dingwall Super series (P or J)

I use these strings on my Dingwall Super P and they have the perfect tension for this version of the multi-scale instrument

Great set of strings

I have been using these strings for one of my basses for years. They have a nice bright sound with a good mid-range presence, making them very useful for cutting through a mix.

The low-end suffers slightly for this, but this isn't a major concern for my purposes, as my bass requires a bit of taming in this range anyway.

I will continue to use these I imagine, due to their affordability and quality, and the fact that they last well too!

Chunky and funky.

As usual for D'addario strings these are excellent sounding and feeling.

The low end is crisp and smooth really letting you hear the low notes which is a hard feat to achieve this far down.

The strings are a dream to play on, smooth and flexible giving a great amount of physical feedback when you pick but also not feeling feel flimsy or breakable. It's easy to see why some bass players never change their strings when they have access to strings like these, they feel like they'll last a life time.

All in all, grab these strings, I bought these to put on my 4 string bass and they're a dream to play and listen to.

For their price, very good strings.

Sound is really bright. and feels good when you play.

They don't last too long, though so you will have to change them pretty often.
