D'Addario Bass Guitar Strings, XL Pro Steels, EPS170-6, Long Scale, Regular Light Gauge 32-130, 6-String Set, Pack of 1

Wooow, pretty nice sound, LOVE IT!

These strings are absolutely awesome in every way! They are very smooth and add a brightness to your tone that is incredible if that is what your are looking for. Stainless steel strings really make you pop out in the mix and these are the best I've found. You won't be disappointed in these if you like cutting through and being heard! Very crisp and detailed sound. I use them on a medium scale Fender Aerodyne with no problems. I cut my strings to allow 2 to 3 wraps around my tuning pegs so these long scale strings fit fine on my medium scale bass. They fit perfectly fine and they add alot of bite to my sound which I love!

If you are looking for a nice clean bright tone these are the strings for you. Always great quality from D'Addario

I've gone through nickel wound fenders, D'Addarios, Rotosound pinks, Dunlop Super Brights, DR Hi Beams and DR low riders so far. These have given me a better mileage. They stay really fresh for about 3 months, and perform admirably well for at least three more months. Considering most strings sound great in their own way while they're fresh, the deep bass and bite are great overall on these.My current set has taken a beating for over 6 months and still delivers funky brights and good bass.No wonder why D'Addarios are so popular.P.S. I have still on my try list elixirs Coated, earny cobalts and roto steels

Pretty decent bass strings great tone and long life

I randomly picked D’Addario bass strings. Have never had issues.

I am not a fan of D'Addario strings for bass, but I am glad I listened to a couple reviews of these particular strings for drop tuning. I play in one band that uses Eb tuning for blues rock covers where I need to use a 5-string active Fender Jazz bass, again, not one of my preferred products (I mostly play Warwick and Ken Smith basses, which do not have the sound or look for this band's target market). I struggled with many different strings with higher tension from LaBella, Rotosound, Sadowsky, DR DDT, and Fodera. None set up well on this bass with playing tension or intonation consistency at the drop tuning. Flatwounds were the right tension, but the high end was just not sitting well in the mix. I changed the stock Fender bridge to a higher mass Hipshot A and the pickups to Reed James VVN Vintage Neo noiseless models with higher magnetic density than the original Fender Noiseless. Nothing seems to work. I bought these strings as a last resort prior to buying a new, custom jazz-style bass with 35" scale. I'm glad I did! They give enough tension at Eb tuning to have accurate intonation and feel. Not the best low B, but usable without being too un-focused or mushy. They also are not as bright as I expected after reading the product info. I do have back off the treble somewhat for this style of music, but not as much as some of the other steel string I tried, but more than nickel strings. I put these strings between, say, Pedulla or Warwick Black Label and above Rotosound Swing Bass Nickels. I would recommend these strings if you are detuning to Eb on a 34" scale bass and still need good playability and brighter strings than flatwounds. . I just bought 2 more sets as a backup.

I began using the strings about a year ago when the price of Rotosounds went up. I am now a firm believer in these strings. They sound fantastic, have a good price point, and seem to last longer than other stainless steel strings. Someone mentioned that they are rough on the fingers but stainless steel strings are rough on the fingers. It’s the price you have to pay for that sound. But honestly they don’t feel that rough to my fingers. I just got a new fender jazz bass which came with nickel strings and I can’t wait to put my pro steels on it. They sound amazing on my P bass.
