Warwick 40301M Black Label 4-stars Reviews

All I’ve used on my German Streamer LX5

These strings are hard to find in Australia. Shame about that. So I usually snag a pkt when I’m ordering other things we don’t readily get here as well. I need to try other strings out of curiosity some time. For now, I’m happy with the way they feel and sound. They came with the bass, so I’m happy to continue with the sound that impressed me at purchase time several years ago.

Heerlijke sound voor een lage prijs

Op mijn warwick FNA 5 snaar is dit DE perfecte set. Laag mid komt perfect door en er zit een heerlijke soepelheid in.

Good sound, not great life

These strings, new, have a nice sound to them. Unadulterated, almost-not too bright, not too uncontrolled. Nice for bringing out the raw sound of your instrument (they aptly would go well on their Warwick basses).

Unfortunately they quite quickly lose their bite and start to sound like a set of old £10 strings. Good for a single recording application but these aren't the strings you'll hear have been on your mate's bass for 30 years without being changed.

Good strings for an acceptable price

I bought the Black Label Strings especially for my Warwick Thumb BO5. Because of the Taper Wound 130 String it fits perfectly onto the typical WW Bridge.

The quality is – for the price – okay. The Black Label Strings a little rough, but not TO rough. So slides are not a problem at all. The Sound is a little nasal: strong mids. So you can get the typical Warwick ‘roar’ out of these strings, without any problem.

The endurance is about average for steel strings, but you can play them quite long if you don’t need the extreme high frequencies.

Overall I’d recommend this Strings for all Bass players, who need a mid- and powerfull tone.
