Fantastic, Consistent Strings!
I received these strings a few days ago and I can honest say they're a huge step up from my other strings! They've settled down into their usual sound, not that overly bright sound you get with brand spanking new strings. But a much more usable tone.They're comfortable strings to play on and don't wear down your fingers with extensive playing. Playing with your fingers gives you that traditional, mellow bass tone. Playing with a pick gives you a huge, punchy sound and the strings snap wonderfully when slapped. Theres no doubt in my mind I could play pretty much any style I wanted on these strings. Great strings for a great price!

Decent bass strings
Great for my 5 string bass very cheap but decent
-
Great clarity, snap and definition!
Bass strings are always a bit of a gamble because you're throwing down a decent lump of cash and you're not as inclined to take chances. My last set was Rotosound swing bass 45-105's and to be honest I wasn't thrilled with them - purely just a matter of taste - i'm sure loads of people like them. Anyway, from the minute I put these on my Warwick came to life. I play all styles and I found these more than up to the job. They stay in tune, and cut through with excellent definition, clarity and snap. Best of all they are an unbeatable price for strings of this quality. Thanks strings.ie for the fast delivery!

Great strings, endless sustain.
Ordered them on a Wednesday, had them on a Thursday morning which was fantastic. Very impressed with the communication and speed of shipping. The strings themselves were brand new, so no old stock being sold cheap, and they'd endless sustain. I just want a few more packets now, so I'll be back to strings.ie again ASAP

Bass strings - lovely lads
No complaints with these strings. 40-95 is a light-gauge set, so works well for playing fast melodic basslines or slap stuff.
