Good sound, to short of a lifespan...

Janek Gwizdala Wannabe 21.10.2022

The sound is good right away in my opinion, after a few hours the strings will loose the "brand-new-string-brilliance" which is to be expected.
The problem for me is that they only last for about 4-6 weeks, I am a music student and play 3+ hours a day but I think the should last a bit longer.
They become doll and dead sounding, I play a 5 string with high C so i need the clarity, not the string for me.

Overall though, great sound! balanced sound with good punch and wormth, responds well to different playing styles/techniques.

Honest & neutral

Since having collected a few vintage basses, I havent found a string which lets the sound of the bass shine through as well as these. They are not too bright at the start, even after months when they are not new or bright anymore, they still sound good. Other strings sound very bad when they go dead! Easy on the fingers & frets too. Couldnt say one bad word about them.

Dont think ive ever! broken one either, i used to break rotosound ALL the time

Clear and precise

I've been using these strings for year now and still can't find anything wrong with them. They sound very crispy and have a great tone to them. The durability is very good, of course that it will depend on how often you gig and how often you clean them. I have them on both my basses, Musicman Stringray 5 and Jazz bass 75 reissue.

I did try other string brands some more expensive some cheaper than these but always found myself (quickly) coming back to Daddario EXL170. They're amazing!
