GOOD - worth the money
Mr Pharmacist 26.08.2019
Theses strings are heavy for a standard-scale bass, so just be aware of that before you buy in terms of your bridge and nut.

The strings went on without issue apart from the bottom string.
I found I had to have a couple of attempts with it - I was getting a lot of buzz when it was played open. But that is a case of restringing problems and are sounding great. They are pretty metallic sounding, so if you want to sound like Al Cisneros you might want something with a softer tone.

The big plus: these strings hold their tuning really nicely. I am in either drop A or B and the whole set goes up and down without any issues. I would highly recommend, it is worth the extra money.

way too dark for

Way too dark sounding. I expected a much brighter sound from stainless steel strings. I had a set of unbranded chinese strings that sounded better, so if you want snappy sounds, avoid these ones.

Bonnes cordes pour sous-accordage
Tomi J. 12.09.2013
J'utilise ces cordes pour un accordage en drop C sur ma 5 cordes (G-C-G-C-F donc), et, moi qui aime bien les cordes dures et tendues, j'ai trouvé mon bonheur !

Je les remonte souvent en standard ou drop D, elles supportent sans aucun problème.

Deux défauts sont cependant à signaler ; les deux cordes graves sont encore un peu détendues à mon goût en Drop C, mais pour du standard D c'est parfait !
Par contre, le défaut majeur de ces cordes, déjà assez onéreuses, est qu'elles perdent très rapidement leur brillance en vieillissant, et le phénomène s'accentue de plus en plus, jusqu’à avoir un son complètement fade et plat. Il faut alors en changer (environ 2 mois pour moi, mais ça doit varier selon l'utilisation et la sudation du joueur).
Autre point à ne pas négliger ; ces cordes mettent un peu plus longtemps que les autres à se "roder", et contrairement à bien d'autres, le son pendant les premiers jours n'est pas le meilleur (trop aigüe, presque criard). Prévoir donc une période "d'usure" volontaire d'environ 4/5 jours pour obtenir un son vraiment optimal.

En résumé, de bonnes cordes qui valent bien leur prix, mais qui vieillissent malheureusement bien trop vite (et qui donnent un son horriblement mat une fois usées) !
