Warwick 42301 M Red Label Reviews

Best value

Can be a bit "raw" at first, but after a little playing they are smooth. Nice bright sound, and the best value for money regarding rock strings for bass. No wonder they dont sell these at regular music stores :-) Cheap enough to change often, and my first choice for my rock/pop basses!!

These strings, unlike other's, has a great advantage, that is the price. In order of level of quality, these strings has a long duration time, i mean , remain with their original "shine" for a long time. However, I think these strings have more defects than qualities. First, they are "uncomfortable" to play, in other words, they are not smooth, it seem's to "wire" on our fingers. Another aspect is the sound, they have a great sound, but this only applies when we put these strings on a high range of basses, a squier for example, the strings do not sound good, but however on a Warwick basses, it sound excellently well, it seems that the strings were made only for the warwick's. So, from experience, it only compensates buy these strings for those who have an warwick bass or an high range basses.

Value for money!!!

I just cannot believe how little these high quality stings cost! I used to put off buying new strings for years as previous sets I have bought used to cost me £30 plus (5 sting sets always cost more)

The strings come vac packed so fit in the case as a spare set, the ones I put on play really well straight away and are not hash on my delicate fingers!! They sound really nice and bright but can also deliver the bassy sound I want (I play a Corvette bubinga)

Highly recommend them not only on price but also quality!!

Great value for money!

I bought these strings for my new 5-string long scale bass made of mahogany. The original strings it came with were a little too thin for my taste. I decided to order the Warwick Red Labels because I wanted some higher gauge strings without having to spend a lot of money.

When the Warwicks arrived I immediately put them on my bass. They sounded a little brighter than the old strings but that didn't surprise me because all new strings tend to be on the bright side at first. These strings too got a little darker (soundwise) after a few days. But they do not sound dull at all. They still sound very lively and organic and show the quality of the bass. Also, they produce a very rich and tight bottom end. For the price I paid I am really overwhelmed.

What I really like about these strings is that the gauge of the individual strings make absolute sense. Some string sets come with strange gauges but not these. Every single string seems to have the perfect tension. (note: I play a standard tuning!)

Bottom Line: Good sounding strings overall. Great value for money!

I found this product to provide the usual high quality that I would expect from warwick. The package is pitched at a good price also. I find it to be a very reliable product and would be happy to purchase again in the future.
