These are top quality stainless steel 30-90 gauge bass strings perfect for the Mark King sound. If fitted to a jazz bass you will get that sound with a little reverb and chorus added and low mids you will really get near to it. But the strings are the business and it is these that allow the bright harmonics and bends that you won't get on other strings. If you want funk then rotosound are the only strings to have. I don't use any other kind for that style. Truly brilliant and affordable price for the length of time they last. in fact Mark King uses these himself even these days and was instrumental in bringing this gauge into use during the early 80s when rotosound made the piano winding bass strings that was so unmistakable in their brightness and crystal clear highs, these are the...

I bought these for my fretless Squier Classic Vibe because roundwounds do damage to the fretboard. I wasn't sure what to expect but I was thrilled with these. Smooth, easy to play, sound great, look great. Lovely sound off these. The only complaint is they're not as versatile as roundwounds; these are more background strings. Also, I've been using them heavily for the past 7 months and they still haven't shown sound degradation or physical wear. Good as new! Very excited to try out the white tapewounds in the future. Overall, I highly recommend these strings :)

Got these after searching and realising no other brand carries gauges this thick. Tuning down to G och F# on a lon scale bass (34-35") bass makes for a mess with a .135-string, but with these babies you're home! After adjusting the nut (widening, don't make the groves more shallow!) and the bridge on an Ibanez SR I could only be amazed at the clarity of wich the lowest notes rang. Add to that great sustain, and after punishing them for months they still haver a lot of string sound left in them, so they seem very durable if you only wipe them down the finished playing. The lowest one we're however a pain getting all stretched out (same for several pairs) and getting it to stay in tune, a lot of elasticity in that one. Given that they are (as far as I was able to deduce) the only...

Many fanzines and people recommend those strings to install on a fretless bass to sound more like a contrabass. My 500/1 Hofner Beatles bass is a fretted version. As you might remember Paul McCartney used those strings on the Let it Be / Get Back Sessions and the Abbey Road record on his fretted violin Hofner Bass. Those strings are thicker than others, but do not be afraid of that they fit perfect on the bass and they can be played very comfortable indeed. McCartney used the black nylons by Rotosound. They are contrary to the pyramids as you have to file the saddle. Compared to the Daddario ones which tend to burst the nylon wiring those strings are really unique, sound more warm, more contrabass. Put them on your bass and test them and get comfortable with them.

I have been using Pyramid SSSL .022w-.128 in a variety of musical settings for a while now and so far I am thoroughly impressed. A great starting point for creating a variety of finger-style or pick tones, these strings are chameleon-like, working well for any tone you have in mind. Some simple shaping from your controls will yield anything from waves of sub-driven synth-like bass, to an authentic aggressive metal tone. ===== FIRST IMPRESSIONS ===== The first thing I noticed was that, fresh out of the pack, these stainless steel Pyramid's are harmonically rich and very bright while still maintaining an open and natural sound in the rest of the spectrum. That richness helps them to deliver focused bass and a balanced, euphonic mid-range. Chords sound balanced, with all the strings...

I got "Warwick Corvette Standard" bass and I have to say that these are exact strings in to it. My friend suggested these strings to me because I mostly play metal and heavy music and I have pretty low-tuning (B). So these strings are very good for real metal music. I have tested these strings in E-tuning also. First I was douptful because they looked so thick but really It wasn't that bad to play at all. I still got my fingers and bass ok. I definitely recommend these strings if you own Warwick bass and want to get some super bass out of your amp!

I recently purchased the Black Label Strings and was impressed by their tone quality. Compared to other Warwick strings I've used, the Black Label Strings have a deeper, richer sound. The low-end response is particularly notable, providing a solid foundation for complex basslines. In contrast, other Warwick strings I've tried tend to sound brighter and more aggressive, which may be suitable for certain genres but doesn't quite fit my playing style. Overall, I'm extremely satisfied with the Black Label Strings and would highly recommend them to fellow bassists seeking a warm, balanced tone.

I use these strings for standard tuning in D, but that means I also have to purchase a single E string to complete the set for a 4 string. I buy the matching D'addario .120, which makes things prefect. The feel of these strings is great, you get the same bit and tone from EB, but I think I prefer these even more and you can't get a similar gauge with EB. I've also had the DR DDT strings, which didn't go very well for me at all. 2 packs of DR E strings snapped at the tuning head when tensioning the string. I would never use them again now I've found this almost perfect D'addario set.

I’ve been playing bass now more than 15 years and I’ve tried a DOZENS of different labels and staring gauges. Everything from flatwound, nickel to stainless for both 4-, 5- and 6-string basses. I like the Ernie Ball EB 2831 Power Slinky a lot. With this particular set I was aiming to go for the following tuning: C#-G#-C#-F# and I think they do their job splendid. Right of the package they are very bright, almost like Stainless. But after a couple of hours of practice and playing gigs they settle with a nice, warm but also a punchy sound. I will defiantly continue to go with these instead of my usual Stainless for a while. Recommended!
