Great bass strings, nice and bright!
These strings have been a great addition to my VM '77 Jazz Bass. Even after wearing in the brightness remains while keeping that authentic jazz bass tone.

Astounding quality
I'm actually a little speechless, these strings are perfect for metal, rock, blues, jazz, anything. They sound bright, even after 6 months. (I'll be buying more soon, don't worry.) They feel very strong, though relenting on your skin. As someone who plays finger-style, I can't recommend these enough. I personally prefer these over Ernie Ball and D'Addario - the only breaker in this deal is the price. If you're touring and need to change strings every fortnight, (or weekly! ...shudder), the price will become hefty. For the studio? Worth every penny.

wow bright n zingy!
They say strings make a big difference to your tone, and TBH I was a bit sceptical until I tried these. These have brought my Fender Jazz to life ( I was even thinking of getting rid of it!). Very crisp when new, have slightly mellowed after a few gigs and rehersals but still clangy enough to slap with (if that's your thing). Lovely loose tension which I like and nice on the fingers, highly recommended, not the cheapest strings out there but you get what you pay for, quality.

Great strings. Nice balanced sound. Not as bright sounding as I was expecting.

My go to for steel strings
These are what steel strings should be. I’ve tried others but they don’t hit the same as these.

Worth every penny.
Great set of strings and worth every penny, really brought my Epi Thunderbird iv To life and was glad I followed the advice on b player forum to invest in a set, very bright sound and work well for pick play but also do the job for finger plucking or slap.

The best for C Standard
THE best string for down tuning. I use the lower 4 strings for playing in C Standard on a Rickenbacker 4003 and they last a good year before going dead. Pricey, but worth it

Fait ressortir le grain typique de ma WW SS1 comme aucune autre marque. La qualité a un prix...

Pacco non perfettamente sigillato nella spedizione. Per il resto sono corde di qualità, morbide e buon feeling

Ayant monté des filets plats sur ma precision classic vibes,j'avais un son bien roots mais manquant un peu de définition,normal; Je cherchais une meilleure définition mais pas au détriment d'une certaine chaleur,que je n'avais pas rencontré avec une autre marque, J'ai trouvé la bonne référence ,les mêmes cordes que mon idole Sting dans sa 1ere période,alors vous pouvez y aller ,ça sonne ,c'est préçis et chaud...
