Warwick 42301 M Red Label 5-stars Reviews

good strings

Cheapest bass strings around, but actually quite good. They are definitely playable.

Super!

Sound is very good. It did not rust long time.

SNAPPY

Color is a plus too

Total improvement of the signal

I have 5 string bass - Gear4Music. The giutar is total disater. These strings raised the quality of the bass noticeably.

Amazing value

Great strings. Unbelievable value!

Warwick 42301 M Red Label

Used nickelwound strings for several years until I needed to find a cheaper set of 5 stringers with specific gauges. This set was the only one I've found with the gauges I was looking for and not only the price is extremely affordable but its sound is amazing.

Although I find steel strings are harsher to my fingers it's still softer then other steel strings I've tested before.

Strings

Nice strings for the price.

Great and cheap!

This is probably the best bass set I've used for Drop A stuff. It feels great and it sounds fantastic! There is no downside to it, it just sounds and feels exactly the way it is supposed to. The strings sound very clear and even the low A has great definition with this set.

Best quality for the price

Some time ago I needed to get cheap 5 string set for my bass. I bought this one and it was amazing.

Sound is great, string doesn't loose brightness during couple of weeks (or several sweaty shows).

If you need cheap strings for live gigs & rehearsals - this is what you are looking for. For that price you could have 2 string sets instead of regular one.

It might be good recording as well.

Good value strings

These sound and feel exactly as would be expected from a set of Stainless Steel roundwounds, so are very suitable for sounds at the brighter end of the spectrum. If a mellower sound is required, I would perhaps look at a different style of string. The feel is somewhat coarse and grippy, but this is true of other strings of this type too. The lifespan is decent, these are not strings which go dead quickly. The bare metal ends look a little less attractive than strings which use silk wrapping, but this does not affect the feel or sound. They compare well to more expensive Stainless Steel roundwounds, and do not obviously seem like cheap strings.

Great budget strings that hold up with more expensive models

I absolutely love these strings.

Pros

- low price. You can change 3 sets for a price of one more expensive set

- good sounding - very bright with much bite

- .135 low b string which brings much needed tightness and punch to low end

Cons

- quality control. Although very rarely, especially since they started vacum packing strings, a string or two in the set can sound different from the rest.

- non tapered b string - although not a problem with most bridges, they can be tricky with Warwick bridges.

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!!

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.
