Pyramid 509.200 Bass Ukulele Set

Two sets bought, bottom E broke almost immediately on both

Very disappointed with these expensive strings; I fitted them and they sounded excellent and played well, but the first time I tried to use them in practise, the bottom E broke. I replaced it from a second set and that broke as well. I don't know if I'm very unlucky, or there's a problem with this brand.

Good strings

They do the work, sounds really good, but the 4° string start to get lose the round and lose the tunning.

Machen den UKU Bass spielbar!

So macht Ukulele Bass Spass!

I love these strings

I've just bought a solid body ukulele bass which came with the usual rubber type strings which I really don't like. I've used metal bass strings on my Ubass for nearly a year and really like them. So I bought these and on day one fitted them to my solid body uke bass. They sound great, feel great and I will never go back to the rubber strings. More of a bass guitar tone but I really like this sound.

Pyramid 509.200 Bass Ukulele Set

Decided to give these Pyramids a try as wanted a more standard electric bass sound from my Ukulele Bass.

Prior to fitting these strings I was using the standard ''rubber'' uke bass strings and all I could get from my uke bass was sounds like Double Bass.

Although I enjoy the big double bass sound from my tiny uke bass I wanted to experiment and try and get a standard electric bass sound.

I ordered them and they were promptly delivered as usual and packaging was excellent.

I unwrapped the strings and found that they were ball ended strings. They were also supplied with washers to seat the ball ends in which stops them being pulled through the Uke.

Once fitted which was really straightforward I began to tune them giving them a stretch as they were tensioned. Tuning was good and they continued to stretch for a day or two.

Now a week later I am picking up my uke and they are staying in tune. This is much better than the ''rubber'' strings i had on prior to these that needed constant tuning.

I now have a solid bodied uke bass which is easier to play and I can get the funk sound I wanted from my uke and sounding like a full size electric bass.

Give them a try you won't be dissapointed!!!!
