Stainless Bass String Set

Amazing set of strings
Excellent strings with good, balanced tension (I tune ADGCF) and a healthy dose of clank.
Pricey string, but very much worth it
These strings sound fantastic, not scooped or overly forward in any frequency range according to to my ears. They have a very good string-lifetime, going up to 4-6 months for me personally until they completely die. Maybe even more so than the sound, they feel really good which is equally important to me. They feel incredibly smooth and more responsive to my attack than most other strings, and that while being stainless-steel. They are hex-core strings so they are slightly stiffer than you might expect, but this allows for lower action (hence lo-riders) to compensate for, which I think is great. If you can afford these, I would strongly reccomend them.
My choice of strings
After going through many kinds of 5-string sets this was the one I was entirely happy with. Not too sloppy feeling, but sturdy and controllable even with ADGCF-tuning. The tone stays fairly bright for several months and doesn't lose the highs suddenly as with many other strings. So far the quality and consistence have been good and the strings are in good balance. Highly recommendable.
