    Bass Strings
    Made in USA
    Plated steel wire nickel and wound around a steel hex me.

    I use (I accuracy of all) on a "Steinberger Q4" (with the clamping device for headless).
    I shot the hair to find some thing that could replace my excellent but very very chres double balls $$$ !! I'm not bald, but c'tait least! ;-)) I (re) found a game that suits me.

    I always love the 40/95 it is a very good compromise for bass which I use. (My jazz bass eg I prfrai rather 45/105).

    Versatile, so hex me not too soft touch but still very pleasant (a minimum of grip without being a stroke cheese), slamming just right, good presence, a sound hot, hard reasonable life it seems (2 to 3 months for me).
    It almost fit all styles and are relatively strong.

    BRIEF:
    a really good string while with good sound !! (AC is a ?? ==> apparently yes)

    So easy to find big production.
    the choice of string is a perpetual frustration lol, but hey, if you do not know what to put on your coffee and you love a mean draft 40/95 with its correct Hypper, try them! there are certainly better and sharp, but the 2835 perfectly fulfill their duty!

    the price between 20 and 25 euros on the internet (+ postage).


    I will try soon cobalts of the same brand, but even when I will recommend this model to put in my set, it's all good reasonably priced !!

    Good Q / P

    Used to replace my D'addario same alloy and pulling on a 4 string given in drop B, the difference was immediately made to feel.

    They are bright, but they are controlled and acute aging rather well. The touch is nice (similar to D'addario) nor too rough, not too slippery.
    Suited for my game (mediator) they respond well to the attack, but if my serious lack of definition, so I went to Pyramid with a Low B Tuning If serious tapered, which gives a better definition.

    But overall it is good strings.

    I often bought in the past ...
    Moreover, on my 6 string, it was often ernie ball that I put.
    I tried lots of brands; Rotosound (brilliant, vintage sound), ken smith rock master (carved in rock, hence the name!), DR (really good!), Warwick (yuck!) , fender (out of my sight!), EBS (mouaif. ...), Labella (not bad, but too expensive in France!), d'addario (the worst string of creation) Fbass (this is the same as Labella, there's just scored Fbass above!) elixir (same sound as ernie ball except that the sound is muffled because of the coating!) Hartke (really bad quality!) ..... finally I think I go around ...

    going back to her, well, they make clear the bass and treble, and to typically cliché, it is the sound musicman!
    yes, it's particularly accurate, stuffed full of bass and treble making it the ultimate slap her!
    Then, of course, when I'm sick of that sound, I buy Rotosound at its most vintage ...
    for me, where I bought them (England) and at the price I paid (20 € including shipping) there's nothing to say, the price is unbeatable!
    when you see that in France, in milonga, they sell the game to 38 € .... lets think here ... sometimes you wonder if they are not musicians for rabbits 6 weeks!
    with experience, I continue to buy it say ...!

    This is a draft standard that I play without any worries. I tried a bunch of strings and finally I use especially those that are most commonly available in stores: they alternately and D'Addario. It seems to me as it lasts a bit longer but I could not say for sure.

    It makes me four-ke I bought them.
    Good-string bass much brighter, especially in the acute and will please fans of heavy metal or well claquant.Seul snag a string If that sounds muffled round: So almost no sounds impossible to leave one's OK with the slap enthusiasts like me: go your way!
    -It 's my first stay new ropes so little experience in brand and tie.
    - The price / quality ratio is good blah strings but it is too expensive for what they've had a valent.Je the € 36 and I thought it was excessive for what it is.
    -With experience, no I would do not have that choice because they do not suit me.

    Strings shallow draft, trs bright in the treble. Super slap in, and the firing of strings (bends). They lack the EHJV mdiums, the coup online classic plays plutt fingers is flat ...

    Hard rock punk bassist likely go your way ...

    The slapeurs will find their account.

    additive: the end, the brilliant trs disappears quickly, leaving a dull, dull. I pass on from elixir and there is no comparison ...

    Great bass strings, for all styles and whether slap in the med or fingers
    they are the cheapest in Ernie Ball (30 euros anyway!)

    I use these for 6 months on a string Ibanez BTB 5 string.

    These are really very good strings wholesale, they have a very very good sound I would say rather conventional, except that a slap in my ancestors! slap it like no other! I would say the problem is during the first week, my index finger on a chop bell bell durian etc ... but it was just be me, does not get used because I play depuit little finger and my first silent rope use. Anyway you want a standart, very clean and slap that dmnage: it is for you!

    The report price is the same quality as the other string sets for bass strings and five out of wholesale price!

    Used instead of the original game on my Ibanez SR 300.

    Pulling a slightly higher but did not require further adjustment of the handle after verification.

    Require a lot of precision in the game (the finger should really fall if not, you drive like a c - n on the rope and find ourselves live on the button again, the muscles of the hand should follow), but makes you much in return.
    The bottom of the range is very clear, the notes (especially on the first 4 boxes Mi) are much more readable in a mix with the original game, much to scratch that place.

    Conclusion, do not hesitate to actually put the price in string of excellent quality. Choice without hesitation that I will ever be the …

    slappeurs for rich

    these strings are struck with a lot of hyper acute low round of mediums but nonexistent at the beginning when you say "wow they are mortal these strings" and after a few tens of days "bah it is where the slamming?" and we are left with no highs sound ugly, but with no low midrange but all ugly! ah so they remain sharp, but just pops frets ...

    Sound (at first) in a terrible slap, finger terrible for the maiden (big slamming fret), not bad to pick.

    These strings are aging very very bad, but if you're a rich slappeurs (jl'es've paid in 42 balls Michenaud it is very bad) or you order them online and you're ready to change every 2 weeks they are for you!
