Ideal for recording
Anonymous 05.04.2016
I bought these as a guitarist, rather than a bass player. They go on my Ibanez 5 string for recording purposes only.

The strings sounded good going through my Avid 11 Rack into logic, both using DI tracks and the built in Amp Simulator. They provided the clarity needed in the low end of the mix without being too thick (the lowest string was tuned to A). The strings were also a good length, with lots of extra string for extended scale length.

While not hugely experienced in buying bass strings, I was happy with my purchase as they fit my needs perfectly.

I had (still have) a 5 string Fender Squire Jazzbass that sounded not to good.
I have a plan for changing the mics, and gave a superb basplayer a call.
His only reply was, have you tried to change strings, ehhh... nooo....
Do that first, and if not better, maybe strings.

Then i ordered this one, and some other types to be sure.
After change to this one, i got a new sound in my bass.
Like getting a new guitar...

This one deliver the brightness and the bottom i was looking for.
Superb bottom, and nice bright sound.
Have not tried the other yet, once i do, i write this here.

I am really enjoying the sound of these strings! I like having a slightly trebley sound anyway and these strings give me the twang I've been looking for. The tension throughout is very good, and although I was worried that the B string would feel somewhat loose and thwappy (technical term! ;-) ), but thankfully, this hasn't been the case. I think I will be using these strings as standard for my fretted base :-) Now.... do they come in flat wound....

My bassist bought these for his bass after seeing a comparison between these and the nickles on youtube. The difference was immence! The increased clarity of prosteel strings are amazing. Buy these! Now!

I bought them for a Spector Euro LX 5, they have a great bright sound to them and I am very pleased with them.
