Dean Markley 2675 Blue Steel Bass XM
String Set for Electric Bass

Latest User Reviews
Great sounding, thick strings!
Best strings for drop tunings and agressive sound. Thickness allows them to be tight down to drop C#, however if you like to go lower and have that agressive, fret-rattling tone, these are best on drop C, B or 5-string lower string tuning. Sound itself is very bright and metallic, yet has that tight low end. Best for metal, hard rock, punk and other genre`s where agressive bass sound is a must. Sound the same around 2-3 weeks of intense playing (2-3hrs a day at least), then start to become dull, yet still sound good!
Best strings I've bought
I've been playing bass for years and therefore gone through a lot of different string brands, this is by far the best set of stings I've used. Much longer life, nice thick strings (which I prefer) and they do perfectly for drop tuning. If the gauge isn't a problem for you then pick these up for sure! (also the blue bits looks lovely around the bass head)
Drop Tuning
I bought them as I read the guy from Billy Talent plays them.
I play in two Bands (DGCF and C#), thats why I chose the 110 gauge.
They are made of Stainless Steel compound winding and cryo frozen in the factory.
If I feel that? No. Do I hear it? No :)
But the strings are now for about 2 Months on my Sandberg and they still feel so good. Not old! But the crispy highs are away. They have a awsome tone,
The feeling is not too sticky. And whats most important, they stay in tune even with my different tunings.
I tried many brands, and after 12 years I have found MY strings!
